Guys ,

I Received my letter of Introduction Which is Given Below. Does it mean that i can work with That study Permit ?

Your application to study or work in Canada has been approved.

Your study or work permit will be issued to you upon arrival in Canada, subject to your compliance with the
requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and its Regulations. It will allow you to study or
work in Canada for a temporary period only. Read the terms and conditions carefully.

You must enter Canada no later than the validity noted above. If you have been issued a visa, you must also
enter no later than the visa validity date.

This letter is not a passport or travel identification, and it is not a legal authorization permitting you to enter or
remain in Canada.
To facilitate your arrival in Canada, inform the officer of the reason for your visit (study or work) and present this
letter with your passport. United States citizens entering Canada from the U.S. may show proof of citizenship (a
birth certificate or a naturalization certificate, and photo identification) instead of a passport. United States
permanent residents entering Canada from the U.S. may show their “green card” instead of a passport and
photo identification. Your passport or U.S. travel identification must be valid, and must be valid beyond the
period you intend to remain in Canada. If it is not, the validity of your study or work permit will likely be limited to
correspond to the validity date of your passport or U.S. travel identification.

In some provinces or territories, students and foreign workers are not eligible for public health insurance. You
must ensure that you and any dependants have adequate health-care insurance or financial resources to cover
possible contingencies. Further information is available from the ministry of health of the province or territory in
which you intend to study or work.

If you have a work permit, please be aware that foreign workers are protected by labour and employment laws.
You are entitled to work in a safe workplace where your health is protected. If an employer does not pay the
wages to which you are entitled, you can file a complaint with the federal or provincial/territorial department
responsible for employment standards

IMPORTANT: Regulations have established a maximum cumulative duration of four years that a Temporary
Foreign Worker can work in Canada. After four years of work has been accumulated, a period of 48 months
spent not working in Canada must elapse before another work permit can be issued, with some limited
exceptions. You are encouraged to keep track of any time you have not worked in Canada and retain any
documents which can prove the time which you did not work. For more information on this, please visit our
Website at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work.
Thank you

In Letter of Introductions its written that Enter before the Validity of Visa. It means yes You can leave in December Even if Visa is Issued in Sep.

and there is no restriction for Point of Entry you can do your entry through any city

But they may ask what will you before your classes start.

it is a generic letter and has nothing to do about the proposed change in 2014(which may or may not happen)....mostly everyone gets the same letter. once at port of entry CBSA will issue u a study permit or work permit depending on what u have applied for. if u have applied for study permit and approved u will get a study permit and will have all the restrictions of a study permit. dont expect to magically get a work permit which u havent applied for.
