Hi,
I have submitted a Study Permit application online but unlike the previous year, I was not able to submit a Temporary resident visa with my Study Permit application.
I currently have a visa for Canada as a student that expires on the 31st/08/2014. If I were to obtain my study permit prior to that date and travel few days before or on the expiry date of my visa, would I be able to enter Canada using my current Visa or do I have to apply for a new one?
On Canada's government website, it states the expiry date is not the date by which i must leave the country but the date in which I can last enter the country. So it would make sense if I could still travel on my Temporary resident visa that expires on the 31st/08/2014 and apply for an extension inside of Canada when I arrive. Rather than applying for a new one and not getting it on time for my Fall 2014 semester, which could cause me missing a whole semester.
Also the immigration officer stamped my passport and wrote under it "31 august 2014", which means I have to leave the country before that date. If i were to enter prior to that date again, will i get another stamp with a later date to leave?
Sorry for the long post,
Thank you in advance!
