I've just (as in, ten minutes ago) been offered admission to my first-choice program in British Columbia. In the offer letter, they stipulate that in order to be placed for my September practicum, I need to provide proof of a study permit by June 15th. If I can't do this, I'll have to complete my practicum the following September, adding another year onto my program.
I live in the Northeastern US and could conceivably get up to the border to apply for a study permit before June 15th. My question is, can I apply for a study permit at the border, stay in the country for a long weekend, and then go back home to prepare for the move? Or does the whole big move need to happen all at the same time?
