Tourism on SX-1 Visa

[RocketCity]

Hi all,

I just got back my visitor visa. On my application form, I stated that the purpose of my visit was Other and put down Short Term Studies and Tourism. I wanted the ability in the future to take French language classes in Montreal as I have a QSW application pending and may move there in the future. Today, I received my visa which states that it is in the SX-1 Student category. The visa is a multiple entry visa. Would it be a problem if I were entering the country as a tourist and not a student as I may want to visit Montreal sometime in the next month?

Thanks,
RocketCity

I am also very interested in the answer to this question. If someone could reply it would be wonderful. Thanks.

This is the response I got from the law firm that is handling my QSW case:

There is absolutely no problem for you to visit.

That's good, thank you! Is there anything I should bring to ensure that there will be no issues?

Hi! Is there any update on using sx-1 visa just for visiting Canada without any study purpose? I really really appreciate your response!!!

Could anyone please tell me if they have already done this? Did you encounter any problems at the boarder? I would appreciate the update.
