Hello all,
I would like to explain my situation,
I am from the Bahamas. I recently lost my passport, which of course had my student permit in it. Now the Bahamas does not have a Canadian embassy, sadly, we use Jamaica as the nearest. I have already attended a University in Canada for a whole year, exiting and entering the country a total of 4 times on my student visa. I am in the midst of applying for a new one and a new passport. My question is, since I cannot seem to contact anyone, from my knowledge I have a 6 month time period of the amount of time I can be in Canada without a visa, or less depending on the immigration officer, correct? Now, I plan on(if I get into Canada) returning home in 4 months before my 6 month period is over, for holiday break, will the immigration officer allow me in, knowing that I am going to attend my school for those 4 months? I am sure immigration has me on file showing that do have a permit that doesn't expire for 2 years. And by the time I return home, I will have my permit back.
Thanks in advance
