Visitor visa to student visa

[MkMCanada]

Hello All,

I'm already in Ontario on a visitor visa, and i would like to apply for MBA. is it possible to get the Student Visa while i'm in Canada and on a visitor visa without leaving Canada?

Thanks,

Yes - but your application cannot be processed within Canada. It has to be sent either to your home country or to a visa office in the US. Additionally, it can be more difficult to obtain a study permit from within Canada since it's more difficult to show ties to your home country.

You're also unfortunately too late for a September start. Earliest would be January.

Hi Scylla
Do you mean that all applications for visitor visa TRV including students one cannot be processed from within Canada?!!!!
I applied for a TRV right after I got my new study permit (all from within Canada). I applied online on july 18. Until now No passport request letter. Cic informed me by email my application is being processed in New York.
I am really curious to know what is the story of transferring TRV applications from cic to canadian embassies outside Canada. (Ps: I never ever lived or went to the US)

I was talking about people who are here on TRVs and want to apply for a study permit.

Hello everyone,
I came to Canada as a visitor in sept 2017 along with my wife and son.
My wife liked Canada and wants to study here. So i searched for colleges and found out a college in Montreal and took admission in one year program starting in feb 2018. Have applied for caq aswell.
Now my question is how to apply for study permit after caq is received. I read at cic website that we can convert visitor to study permit if pre requisite course is completed which is required for admission into actual course.
Please guide me with the next procedure.
My wife has done masters in technology computer science from India and has 7.5 bands in ielts with 6.5 in one module. She got admission in a relevant course.

Please guide me. I have around 25days to wait for caq. Till then i have to gather all the information.

Thank you.

You can apply for a study permit for short term course, a course that the school indicates is a pre-requisite to the course you want to take. The school must be accredited.

Hi all,

I'm presently in Colombia and I have a Canadian student visa. I was wondering if I am able to travel to Canada as a tourist with my student visa, or do I need to apply for a tourist visa?

Thank you,
