Fly to Canada on a Study Visa* during Pandemic – Support Letter

Fly to Canada on a Study Visa* during a pandemic – support letter

Airport officials and immigration officers are asking for a support letter. This letter is issued by the relevant college/university authorities and includes all student information by which one will get permission to board their pre-booked flight.

The four main features of a support letter are as follows:

1. Student name, programme enrolment and fee submission status.

2. Online enrolment status.

3. Reasons for necessary travel. Some relevant points are given as follows:

-Bad internet connectivity: having insufficient bandwidth available to properly attend online classes.

-Electricity Issues: unreliable power supply leading to frequent power cuts and outages.

-Time Zone Issues: inability to study online due to very large time zone differences.

4. 14-Day Quarantine Period: Mentioning that one will be self-quarantining for 14 days along with details of where the planned stay will be, in a hotel or with relatives, is a crucial aspect of the support letter.

Please remember to make a departure file as well; this should include all the other relevant documents required by the airport officials when they ask for it.

In the current circumstances it is recommended to arrive 5-6 hours early so as to overcome long queues and smoothly complete all formalities such as check-ins or immigration.

Best wishes to everyone who is going to study in Canada; have a safe journey.
