Study permit from within Canada

[SSK11]

Hi,

I am in Canada on SX-1 visa, which allows to study for up to 6 months at a time. I am studying English, and was accepted to a program in the college. I applied for a study permit from within Canada, and it was refused. Reason - this type of application should be made from outside of Canada. Before I applied, I did an elegibilty test and determined that I can apply from within. Does anyone know what to do next? How bad is this?

According to your case i would rather suggest you to consult some immigration lawyer in canada and they can guide you well.

You need to apply through the visa office responsible for your home country.

They are the only reliable source. Call second time if you do not like the first answer.
