Immigration Forum / Canada / August 2006Changing visitor visa to Student visa
Hi One of my friend (originally from India) is on a trip to canada on Visitor visa. Now he is thinking of continuing his studies here and wants to apply for student visa. Would CIC process his application here in canada? what is the procedure? Thanks in advance Raj Hi > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Raj No, he has to apply outside Canada, see www.cic.gc.ca and look under study. PMM > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Raj No he has to apply in his visa post or in another country that he has been legally admitted for one year. See Regulation 11 paragraph (2) Roy www.cvimmigration.com -- I could be wrong here but from what I understand, your friend can apply for a study permit (which is essentially a change of status) while he is in Canada. Experts, please correct me if I am wrong here. klpd4dc > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Raj PMM is correct.

From experts opinion, it seems like my friend has to apply from outside of canada. If you could guide me on how to read regulation 11(2) in detail (From which book??), it would be appreciated very much. Thanks....Raj > PMM is correct.
