Narrative:

IFR flight from W00 to phf. INS student received clearance as filed via phone prior to departure. Instrument didn't know that the IFR clearance included a 'remain clear of TCA' restriction. Student was initially staying clear of the TCA, but the instrument (me) told him that he should fly direct to ott as filed if he was cleared as filed. When TCA was entered the controller questioned it, but then let us proceed on course. Instrument then questioned the student and learned of the 'remain clear of TCA' restriction that had been included in the original clearance. At the time of TCA entry, contact with ATC had already been established, but due to very heavy controller workload, the controller had told us to stand by.
