Study Permit
My child has been accepted by a Canadian university and will be a
freshman in September. Several months ago (January) child and I
applied for PR under family class, mom being a Canadian citizen. I
don't know if we will have PR status by September 1, when school
starts.
CIC study guide says that she may show up at the border with
documentation and she can get her student visa then. It also says she
must prove she plans on leaving after her studies are completed, but
having applied for PR shows that is obviously not the case.
Should I wait and take my chances at the border, or should we fly
to the nearest consulate (LA or Seattle) beforehand. Will we have a
problem in either case? Advice appreciated. Thanks

If your daughter is US citizen, then just apply for student permit at Border
or Airport with proof of funds and acceptance letter as well as ID. By the
way was your daughter's mother a Canadian citizen when she was born? If so
then she is a Canadian citizen.

Thanks. I will do that. Unfortunately, her mother became a Canadian
citizen when she was 17.
