Yes you can. If you are in Canada you may choose to enroll in a course who's duration is of 6 months or less without a student permit.
2nd) Use the online tool and create a CIC login ID and click on change my conditions of stay.
You can definitely move from Visitor to Student (Provided you do not violate your stay as a visitor.) Do not start studying for a degree/diploma/course who's duration is more than 6 months. Please apply for the necessary permits before you choose to do so.
Take admission - Pay the deposit - apply for study permit online - you may be interviewed - get the study permit - continue to stay in Canada.

No you are wrong, you can't apply for a study permit from within Canada if you came on a visit visa, as per CIC

Call CIC if you are in Canada. They are your best friends. I believe you can but I could always be wrong. I have applied for study permit from within Canada. Moved from Work to Study and Visitor. It was really simple.
But then again I came as student. I only speak from personal experience.

you cannot change your visitor visa to student visa withing canada...........you have to go back and i will suggest you to apply from your home land it will increase the chances for you to get visa
He is right. You can apply to buffalo but i guess you have to be here at least a year to do that. A friends lawyer had told him that.heartbeat said:
I believe you are right. Cause you need to have stayed in Canada for at least year to be able to apply to Seattle or Buffalo. I guess we are debating here on what can be done and what cant be done - while the individual who started the thread is lost!! :enfield said:
Hi
No, "admitted for 1 year" is for PR applications that wish to use Buffalo.

There is no debate, you're giving him incorrect information. You can't apply in Buffalo either if you came on a visit visa to Canada.AINP App said:I believe you are right.
