Hello everyone!
I'm an Italian PhD student and I'm going to spend 4 months in Montreal at Environment and Climate Change Canada to do a part of my PhD activity. Throughout the whole period I will be paid by my University. It is not clear to me if I need some type of visa, like the student permit. Could someone help me, please?

Thank you ElStu and student2018.
Until now the VFS center hasn't provide me any useful information. As far as I have understood, probably I don't need any visa, as student2018 suggested, but I would prefer to get an official answer. I don't want to be rejected at the border :(

Thank you again guys!
