Hi, I am an American Citizen married to an Canadian Citizen. I am currently residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba with my husband and my application to become a permanent resident has been in process for over a year now. They are making us redo alot of paperwork some they have lost. But meanwhile I wanted to know if I am able to attend school on my visitors visa. If the School is free and will let me attend does that mean I am being authorized to do so? And do I have to inform Canadian Immigration? Thanx so much.
 
Unless you are PR of Canada , you need to apply for a study permit, otherwise it breaks the rules.Visitor visa is not for any other purpose than visiting the country.

Apply for a study permit ,it takes only a little time.

You are wrong. If course is 6 months or less than that you don't need study permit. You can attend school on basis of your visitor visa.
 
Hi thank you so much for getting back to me guys. I am aware that I can attend school for 6 months or less but I am trying to get my Mature student Diploma in Winnipeg I wanted to know after 6 months can I go for another 6 months to complete my diploma?

You can't without a study permit. Without a study permit, you are risking being removed from Canada and banned for studying illegally. You don't want to end up with a ban - tihs will create big problems for your sponsorship application.

So either get a study permit or stop studying. Those are your legal choices.
