Hi all, I had applied for a study permit/student visa through SDS from India as I will be traveling for a 2 year full time Masters program this fall. My application is approved however my visa has been stamped only for 1 year 4 months. I submitted an unconditional LOA with sufficient finances and 1st year tuition already paid and my passport validity is more than 5 years. I also rechecked my application form and have put in the correct dates. Has anyone faced something similar and can guide me on how to go about it. Do I need to explain this at the port of entry where I will get my permit or just apply for an extension later or is there any other means of rectifying this. Any guidance would help. Thanks in advance
