If you are entering or re-entering Canada, it is important that you prepare well in advance and have the right documentation ready to make your trip as smooth as possible. A border services officer will make the final decision on your eligibility to enter Canada when you arrive.
Check the Canada Border Services Agency website for information on crossing the border into Canada, including information on declarations and what you can and can’t bring to Canada.
If you are being issued a new document at the border, make sure to check it carefully for errors or missing work conditions before you leave.
If there is an error, you can politely ask to have it corrected on the spot. If you leave the border without making the corrections, it is much more complicated to fix it. Learn more on the Amending Your Study Permit page.
