- We recommend that you arrive in Canada no earlier than 2-3 weeks (unless otherwise indicated in your LOA) prior to the start of your classes.
Should you decide to come to Canada earlier than the 2 to 3 weeks suggested (unless otherwise indicated in your LOA), it will be at your own risk and expense as Canada Border Services (CBSA) controls entry into Canada and have made it clear that you should not be arriving too early for start of classes.
