If you have a visit visa, you can visit Canada as a visitor. You can only apply for a study permit inside Canada provided the following applies to you


You can only apply for a study permit within Canada if you’re:

• a minor child in primary or secondary school
• an exchange or visiting student
• a student who has completed a short-term course or study program, which is a condition for being accepted at a DLI
• someone who holds a temporary resident permit (TRP) valid for at least 6 months, or their family member
• a spouse or common-law partner (and their family members) being sponsored to immigrate, who are:
  • in Canada, and
  • have applied for permanent residence, if eligible
• a person with a study permit from a visa office abroad, and the permit was issued before you got to Canada, who wants to keep studying
• the family member of:
  • athletes on a Canadian-based team
  • media representatives
  • members of the clergy, or
  • military personnel assigned to Canada
• a family member or private staff member of a foreign representative who is properly accredited (90 days before or after you are no longer authorized to study without a study permit), or
• a foreign national or their family member with a valid study or work permit, who wants to stay in Canada longer to study

Otherwise you will have to go back to your home country and apply from there.
