Hello friends,
I know that there are so many applicants who are going to travel here soon in future and they are willing to know about the experience at POE. So here I am to share my experience with you guyz..
I landed in toronto city yesterday and when I came to a counter to get my study permit, immigration officer did not ask me anything except 2 questions. 1) How are you Sir? 2)May i have your passport?
I put my passport and introduction letter in front of him and he took only few minz to issue me a study permit. In total, from appearing on the counter to getting a study permit, only took 5-7minz for me.
But this may not be the case with every1 like there was a chinese girl in another counter next to me and the visa officer was asking her about different things. She went before me to the counter and was still there when i left the place. Just be confident and keep your other documents with you like payment invoice, offer letter, proof of funds etc in case if they ask.

Best regards!

When you land in toronto and enter in airport building premises, there are many signs indicating either to baggage claim or connecting flights. Since i did not have any connecting flight so i followed that baggage claim sign and it was easy to find immigration counter. Once i got my study permit from that counter, i entered the baggage claim area where i collected my luggage and left the airport.

i wonder how it will go for me, coz i had the visa on my passport since 2013 but i didn't make it at the time now i want to move to sep intake and for sure its not the same program of study i applied for i even changed its duration from 4 years to 1

do you guys know about that or should i apply for a new visa?
