Visiting Canada Before "Activating" Study Visa

[spendalifetime]

Hi,

I was recently accepted to study in Toronto starting in January and I have successfully obtained my letter of acceptance from the immigration website etc. However, I am travelling to Canada next week to attend a friends wedding. I will only be in the country for two weeks before returning to the UK and I have a return flight already booked. Obviously I don't plan on using my study visa for this short trip, however for some reason my ETA has been cancelled with no reason as to why. I can only assume that they cancelled it as soon as my study visa was granted, assuming that the next time I fly to Canada it would be to start my studies.

Has anyone else had this experience before? I'm not sure whether I I should just apply for another ETA and hope that it gets processed with no issue, but I'm a bit worried it might affect my study visa...

Any help would greatly appreciated!

What's trv?

I haven't got all my paperwork printed and documents organised yet and don't really want to try rush it all together unless I have no other option
