Hi all,
I am trying to help a friend and posted a question on different section of the forum but had no reply.
My friend is a visitor here and will attend a language school for about 10 months.
I hope someone here can help me.

1. Can I send the application for a study permit directly by mail to the consulate in LA or do I have to go through the Visa Application Center?I see that applying through the VAC will cost you another ~$40.
2.He needs a co-op work permit as well. Does he need to submit a separate application? I believe it's not necessary but would like to confirm.
3. My friend expects to start school on May 5 but it looks like there is not enough time. What is the expected processing time these days? The website only says min 30 days can-am.gc.ca/visas/processing-traitement.aspx?lang=eng
4. If he doesn't include the proof of the medical exam at the beginning, can he send it later (but before being requested)? Where can he send it to?
