Has anyone been granted a student visa after applying within Canada from a visitor's status under the "short term course eligibility"

depends what you mean short term course. You do not need a study permit if course is 6 months or less see here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-who.asp

Does anyone know anyone who has gone through the process of applying for the student visa while on a visitor's visa?

If yes can you assist with the process of applying online or by mail to the LA-VAC?

Hey there

I'm in the same position as you, currently on visitor status till October 20 and my passport expires July 30 2017.

I am waiting to pay my enrolment deposit in about two weeks and start the process for study permit application.

I believe we are supposed to apply by mail to the Los Angeles VAC and they will request the passport when needed - I've seen places where they mention online applications for study permit in Canada to Los Angeles though I'm not sure about this.

Have you gotten a start with the app? Good luck to us both!

Also if you take the course it should be a pre-requisite for entry to the graduate program if you were to apply to Ottawa for your study permit.

 

[coley2]

Thanks for your reply.Are you from a biometric exempted country?

 

[ParadiseMann7]

Hey yes I am you?

Have you started the process in any way?

When does your status expire?

Just waiting to pay my enrolment deposit so I can get a start on the whole process - good luck to us both!
