Change status from Student to Visitor

[SFKAS]

I restored my status as a student in September 2015. I did not take the fall semester due to some personal reasons and now I have registered for the Winter 2016 semester.

Now I am having second thoughts and I am considering dropping this semester. If I go ahead and do this I would have to change my status from student to visitor. I am not able to find any information about this forum or otherwise. Please advise how I can go about this.

Anyone?

Hi SFKAS

My wife is going thru a similar situation. She is planning to drop her present course and register for a new course. When we called and enquired with CIC, they said if the next course doesnt start within 90 days you have to apply to change your status as a student (applying for a visit visa). That would be like the safe way to do things. However the CIC people didnt have anything of this information in writing. And I have heard conflicting info regarding this as well

Did you contact CIC regarding this matter?
