Thanks! So my school is either, lazy? Incompetent or just trying to rip me off? I know how they are with face, so I will need to ask for these delicately. Do you have any official source with this information? I have a feeling the school will just deny this is the case. Or should I go to immigration first to explain the situation and confirm with them that this is the case?
Yes, did everything by the book. Made sure with the school. I definitely got re-entry permit before I left. I remember the school saying how important that was.
