The write-up reports an approval that came through in under four weeks from submission, on a file for which the quoted processing time had been 28 weeks. The author describes it as the shortest turnaround they had seen since the start of the COVID period and credits a well-prepared submission.
Most of the post is practical guidance for entering Canada at that time. It notes that a Canadian phone number is needed for ArriveCAN, so the number must be activated and obtained first, and that entry was becoming possible for those holding a letter of acceptance from a DLI-designated institution.
On biometrics, the write-up states that collection was available in Korea but still not possible inside Canada, that extensions filed from inside Canada and permanent residents were exempt, that switching from a dependant or visitor visa to a study permit required biometrics, and that switching from a dependant or visitor visa to a work permit could be exempt as a COVID special case.
It also explains the humanitarian entry and quarantine-exemption process, under which written approval must be obtained before travel: without the written approval boarding can be refused, and without the quarantine exemption the traveller must quarantine on arrival. The grounds listed are attending a family member's final moments, providing support to someone critically ill, providing care to someone needing medical support, and attending a funeral.
