Get eTa then apply study permit in Canada?

[ogood23]

Hello,

I am a South Korean who studied at Canadian university but had to go back Korea for the military service. Now the service is done and I am planning to go back to school. I am a 4th year engineering student.

My question is, is possible to get eTa first and go to Canada, get things like housing sorted out first, while I apply for study permit in Canada? Or would it be better to just apply for the study permit in Korea? and why?

I've read a few cases on this forum but then most of the cases are for the people who are new to Canada. I lived in Canada for 10 years and I'm just trying to continue study but I wasn't sure what the best way to proceed with the study permit is.

Thank you.

You can apply for a study permit after arrival or at POE only if R214 or R215 applies to you. Read here:

Thank you for the quick reply. It looks like I'm applying from Korea.

Actually I do have a sister who is legally working in Vancouver and she just got her PR approved, which also means I am fine to apply after entry.

Thank you.

1. Your sister is NOT considered a family member for a study permit in Canada. Family members are spouses and their dependent children, you have to apply abroad.
