Clawsworth Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I've studied abroad at UBC before and I was able to get my student visa at the border with no problems. However, this time I'm going as a grad student and want to go a month before class starts to get acquainted with the city and do all necessary pre-school preparations. Will they allow me to enter this early? I can't find information about this anywhere -- thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent shakespeare Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 as long as you have your passport, letter of acceptance and award letter, and $ for your study permit, you should be fine. anything extra, like additional funds available to you (bank/loan papers) are assets, but probably not even needed. I brought a lot of extra stuff to be on the safe side, and didn't even need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent shakespeare Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 also, a month or so in advance won't raise eyebrows - plenty of people do that. Especially to apartment-hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdilks Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I always find it amusing that you have to do stuff like this to go to school in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
