Can I get a student visa if I fly into canada?
I know that if you have the proper documents you can get a student visa at the border between the U.S. and Canada, but howabout if I fly from Spokane, Washington into Calgary, AB? I'm a citizen of the states.

You need to apply for a student Visa before you try to fly into the country. You can't get one when you land. You also need to prove you have been accepted by a school in Canada.

If you're planning on staying in Canada for 6 months or less then you don't need a visa, but if you're actually planning on coming here and studying for the entire duration of a course at a college or university, then you need to obtain a student visa BEFORE coming to Canada. You have to send in an application along with a passport photo and biometric information, and allow the Canadian government to do a background check.

It's not quite that simple. First you have to apply to a Canadian school and be accepted, then you have to apply to Canadian Immigration for a student visa, and then you fly into the country. I don't know who told you you could get a student visa at the border, but it isn't so.
