STUDENT OR VISITOR'S VISA CONFUSED - PLS HELP.

[Bethel7]

Hello, Please kindly advice me too.
My friend want to come to Canada from Nigeria for a Christian Training Program with one of the Charity Organizations here in Alberta. And the said program will last for about 6 months.
What type of Visa will he apply for? Student Visa or Visitor's Visa?
He is really confused and I don't know the answer to give him either.
A link to the correct application form will also be appreciated.
Thanks for your prompt reply as usual
Regards,
Bethel7

It must be stated on his letter of acceptance or any relevant document from the institute he's going to that if the program is 6 months or more. If the program is 6 months or more than your friend definitely needs a study permit.
