I am an Indian citizen currently in Toronto on a visitor visa and want to apply for a study permit. I plan to apply for the study permit at the Canadian Consulate in NY, as I need to apply from outside Canada. I have a visitors visa for US. My questions are:
1. has someone applied online for a study permit from outside Canada, while physically being in Canada and did they state their country of residence as Canada as a visitor? I have been getting conflicting information that one can only apply on paper, and not online.
2. have people entered US for the purpose of only giving biometrics on a US visitor visa, and what was the experience? There seems to be some threads that mentioned that people were denied entry to US only for biometrics.
3. I was told that by the VAC in New York that they do not process paper applications and give them to the US consulate, until the biometrics is received. Is that correct, since then there seems to less of a point mailing in a paper application.
I appreciate any experience that people may be able to share. Thanks so much and looking forward to hearing the detailed responses
