Hello,
I am attending university in the UK starting in the fall as an international student. I am currently a Canadian citizen which means I can visit the UK without a visa, but nonetheless I need to apply for a student visa. However, it is possible that I will not receive my student visa before having to arrive in the UK. Thus my question is, is it possible to arrive without a student visa and simply as a Canadian citizen until I receive my student visa? Do I need the student visa to attend university, move in, etc?
