School Transfer Certificate needed for Class 3 Student to show to customs on arrival?

My child (8 years old) is studying in school in India in class 3. I got his student visa, but need to know if need to show Transfer certificate to customs upon arrival (coming separately)? We dont want to take current school's TC until we are very sure of schooling in canada.

Please advice anyone who has gone through this, appreciated.

Just verifying that you are the one who has a work permit and student permit.

There is need for transfer certificate for customs or the school. Choice of public schooling in Canada is dependent on what catchment area you live in.

Thanks for response, but i didnt understood this line - "There is need for transfer certificate for customs or the school. Choice of public schooling in Canada is dependent on what catchment area you live in."

I am in Toronto on work permit and got son's work permit some months ago. we are ok getting transfer certificate, but we want to get it only after checking our options for schooling in canada; hence want to know do we need to show it to customs upon arrival??

Sorry missed the no in my sentence. School choice is based on where you live in Canada. Schools are associated neighbourhood and you must show a lease or deed.
