Hey everyone!

Is it possible to change your visa from SX-1 (Student exempt from Student Permit) to S-1 (Student Visa) within Canada?
I arrived to study a short term program (that's currently not related to any university) and wanna continue studying Master's degree in University of Toronto.

Is it possible to make the conversion between the two visas?

Thank you,
Regards

You don't need to convert your TRV; it has nothing to do with your status in Canada.

You need to apply to change your status from visitor to student.
