Hi all can you tell me whether anyone applied without first having accommodation, i have enough fund for tuition and living expense. however i want to wait till i get there to get accommodations by renting an apartment.

Can you share your experience and whether you got your visa approved?

Any person from the Caribbean applied this way? I am applying to the Trinidad and Tobago Office

Thanks
 
The new landlord waited for me enough to be in Canada and sign the rental contract... But with the unexpected delay of my student permit (10 weeks now)... I lost my chances to rent his apartment. I have to search for another one. You can apply without accommodation... you never know when to get the visa/student permit.

My advice to you... after reading tons of comments on this forum... is to apply paper-based and stay away from the "Online" thing!
Although the online sounds more accurate and professional... unfortunately, it is not the case for this service. Good luck ;)

I would suggest you to be in touch with someone who is already in Canada to either arrange for a temporary accommodation or if your University/College offers temporary accommodation then go for it. Once you land in Canada and have met a handful of seniors/classmates you'll be in a better position to look for a good apartment to rent!

Do you have any accommodations suggestions, i need a letter or a an intend to rent letter before i apply
 
Actually as far as i know i dont think you need to show any details about your accommodation but in case your lawyer says its necessary why dont you go for any short term accommodation? I dont know how far it will work out but atleast you can show the VO u have a place to stay once you land in Canada.

I tired looking at that but i have no family in canada so that is alittle challenging
 
you could always book something on airbnb or hostelworld for maybe 2 weeks or a month

obviously go for the cancellation friendly options. you can get something for 13-20$ a day max.

But can anyone confirm this because I wasn't even aware you had to show confirmed accommodation. Just funds to be able to obtain it once there
