Question Need visa Asap

[Everknight]

Hello everyone,

I'm in a hard situation now. I applied to a masters program in canada last year; and a few months back I booked a hotel, concert and some others activities in Toronto for this july to spend holidays. In the case I weren't accepted, I was just planned to go to Toronto as a visitor since I already have a visitor visa.

However In late may I got the acceptance letter from the university since I was waitlisted, I started the application online in my home country but I'm worried about not getting the visa by july.

I'm wondering if it is possible to enter Canada as a visitor, then send the passport by mail overseas to get the visa stamped.

Or what other options can I use to not to lose my holidays plan.

If this is worth to mention, I am from colombia and my application visa is going on there.

If you are sure that You won't be able to get visa in time then simply defer your semester. you will have 30 days from the day you will receive passport request.
You can still visit Canada as a visitor but for Studies (specially masters program) you need Study permit you which you have to apply from your own country.

I am sure it is fairly illegal to post passports through courier until unless it is legal from embassy, like some countries have joint embassy in a single country for a region. Check before you take this step other wise your passport will be seize by Border Security.
