After you receive your PPR (the letter requesting your passport for visa stamping), "visa endorsement" refers to the stamping step that follows:
- Send your passport through VFS Global to the relevant IRCC visa office (e.g. New Delhi) once you receive your PPR.
- The visa office stamps your passport with your Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) for travel purposes — this is the "visa endorsement."
- You receive your passport back with the visa stamp, but note this is separate from your actual study permit: your physical study permit document is issued at the airport immigration counter when you land in Canada, not before.
- Once you have your visa and travel dates confirmed, inform your college/institution that you've received your visa, since they may need this for enrollment or arrival coordination.
