Study Abroad: International Students Must Have These 7 Documents to Enter Canada

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) does an immigration check on international students and then issues the study permits. The agency has a right to approve or refuse your student visa at Canadian airports. 

Apparently, students have to complete their documentation after reaching the Canadian airport. However, they may experience a longer waiting period as well. A border services officer (BSO) directs the students coming to the appropriate location and submits/reviews their application for a Canadian study permit. 

Furthermore, there are now designated processing areas in several Canadian airports for students with study visas. 

It is generally advised that individuals must carefully check their study permit documents as soon as possible after receiving them.

Also, it is crucial to re-check all the documents before you book your tickets for Canada.
