Hi helican
My university is in Ottawa , but I want to land in Vancouver first because my relatives are in Vancouver so I want to stay there for 10-12 days and after that I'll book my flight for Ottawa.
Is it ok if my port entry is in Vancover rather than Toronto ?because some people are saying that u can not land in Vancouver first because your university is in ontario.
please tell me so that I can book my flight accordingly.
Secondly, I want to know that how early I can enter canada as my classes deferred to September intake.

Honestly, if I was in your place I wont do that. It may have worked for few people in the past but then there were also few who had to provide a lot of explanation at the airport as to why they landed in a different province. Not sure if they had landed too early..

It was until I met with a visa officer at an Educanada fair which is very rare cuz it only happens once a year..
