Are you eligible to get a study permit at the border? Assume you have applied for a study permit and it is being processed outland so you need to wait for IRCC approval.
Who can apply at a POE
The foreign nationals who may apply for a study permit when entering Canada (section
R214) are any
- national or permanent residents of the United States (US)
- people who have lawfully been admitted to the US for permanent residence
- residents of Greenland or St. Pierre and Miquelon
Note: As of April 26, 2022, lawful permanent residents of the US do not need an eTA to fly to or transit through a Canadian airport. In all methods of travel, they must present their passport and proof of their valid lawful permanent resident status in the US (such as a valid green card or a valid I-551 [ADIT] stamp in their passport).
Note: To apply for a study permit at an air POE, a lawful permanent resident of the US who is travelling to Canada must apply for and obtain an eTA before boarding their flight to Canada.
