Back to the dual intent, as I'm still not clear about it in my friend's case. Does the person have to be enrolled in a College or University course. Or can it be an ESL course. Secondly, if someone does come here to study English, then change course or program, and after that wants to live...

Thanks BCguy and PMM! Do either of you two have any idea what the chances of being DENIED a study permit to someone from Europe?? :)

Can anyone clarify this "dual intent"? It's not very clear on the website (at least for me). Thanks!

Thanks Leon! Could someone activate the student visa at the airport (port of entry) rather than at the border? Another question, how long must you stay out of Canada before returning? Here's a hypothetical situation: Someone comes to visit or travel (from a visa-exempt country) for one...

Thanks EduardoF! you've been a great help!

If you are planning a trip to Canada, is it not wise to obtain a "visitor's visa" even from a visa-exempt country? And if you do have the visitor's visa (or not have one) and want to apply for a student visa, do you have to leave the country to get the student visa or is it possible (as a...

Thanks Leon & Wolverine! A second question pertaining to the same "multiple entry visa". Won't Immigration be suspicious if some keeps entering and exiting Canada? I thought they frowned upon someone who comes back again. Or do I not understand the "multiple entry visa"?

Does anyone explain what exactly is a multiple-entry visa?

Thank you!

Thanks again, Leon! Do you know what the likelihood of Immigration granting a study visa if you plan on changing the type of course you want to take? Say you're studying English (with no visa, because you're in Canada as a visitor) then want to take technology courses at a College or...

Does anyone know for sure if you need a study permit if you are taking some ESL classes (less than 6 months)? I was told twice that a study permit is not necessary if the courses are less than 6 months. But I have reservations. Can anyone verify this?

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if a foreign national can come here to study English (with a study visa) in order to improve their English skills and then switch to a becoming a business entrepreneur? Seeing as one of the selection criteria is language capabilities, it's important to be able to...

Thanks a million, Leon!

Thanks Leon!! You know quite a lot! You are a great source of knowledge. Can he remain here on an extended visitor/study visa while he waits for the work permit and LMO?? Or does he still have to leave?

Hello! I have another question. If someone comes to Canada for a visit from a visa-exempt country, and plans on extending their visit for either "visitor" reasons or to apply for a student visa, would they not need a tourist visa to begin with?? What is the likelyhood of being denied a...

Hello everyone! A friend wants to come to Canada as a tourist. He is allowed to learn English while here on holidays without a study visa if the course is less than 6 months. He can also apply to extend his study visa if the course lasts longer or if he decides to extend his studies (so I've...

Re: visitor/study......should have been in other forum sorry.........i put it in the wrong forum!
