3 Steps to study in Canada as a tourist
When talking about studying in Canada, you will think about applying for a study permit outside Canada. However, there is another way that can help you to get a study permit inside Canada – through a visitor visa.
If you ever come to Canada via a visitor visa, but then you realized that you are in love with the country, where there are tons of beautiful scenery, friendly and kind people around the areas, many different colleges and universities with various interesting majors that you just want to stay longer and pursuit your study goal?! Many people used to be like that. It sounds impossible to make the Canada dream come true but Admission Hub can support you to achieve that. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Applying for a tourist visa
You should prepare all required documents before submitting the visa application. Make sure that you will not miss any important information. If you’re eligible, you need to submit additional documents. The extra documents you need to submit depends on your situation. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, you also need to meet the COVID‑19 travel exemption and criteria for a visitor visa. If you pass the identity check, health assessment, and meet the entry requirements, the border services officer may stamp your passport or let you know how long you can stay in Canada. You’re allowed to stay in Canada for up to 6 months.
In some cases, the officer may limit or extend your time in Canada, depending on the purpose of your visit.
Step 2: Going to Canada
Once your visa is granted, it is time you should think about the plan to visit Canada. It depends on your schedule, so be prepared and pick the best time for your trip. You may need to bring documents that you submitted with your visa application or present additional documents to the border services officer on arrival in Canada. Again, when you arrive, the officer will check your identity to make sure that you’re the same person who was approved to travel to Canada. They will also ask to see your ArriveCAN receipt and quarantine plan if needed. In addition, they will assess your health before you leave the port of entry so If you’re a foreign national and you have symptoms of COVID-19, you won’t be allowed to enter Canada.
Step 3: Changing your visitor visa to study permit
If you are already in Canada, you can change your visitor visa to a study permit. This period takes time, and you can apply for a study permit after entering Canada if you:
- Completed a short-term course or program of study that is a prerequisite to their enrolling at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI)
- Have a spouse or parents who have a valid Study Permit or Canadian Work Permit
- Visiting or exchange students studying at a DLI
Some exceptions may apply. For example, you do not need a study permit if you are attending a program of six months or less.
Benefit of changing Visa to Study Permit in Canada
- Change your visitor visa status to study permit inside Canada to save more time. The processing time can be completed within a month.
