  • Change your visitor visa status to study permit inside Canada save more time

    Processing time can be completed within a month if you transfer from a visitor visa to a study permit. This also means you can immigrate to Canada faster and work inside Canada legally. This is a shortcut for visitors to get a Work Permit through the study pathway.

It is safe to say that converting from a visitor visa to a study visa is the best immigration method with the lowest threshold, the lowest cost, and the highest success rate.

在決定留下來讀書時,在選學校與後續辦理簽證上遇到很多問題,已經去詢問過其他好幾家代辦可是都沒有辦法解決我的問題,和ADM諮詢時他們給了我很詳細的規劃,站在學生角度幫我分析,聽了ADM的完整規劃後當下馬上就決定要請他們代辦

很感謝ADM的幫忙 讓我順利拿到簽證

不只很專業 服務也很好

When I decided to stay and study, I encountered many problems in choosing a school and subsequently applying for a visa. I had already consulted several other agencies but none of them could solve my problem. When I consulted with ADM, they gave me a very detailed plan. He helped me analyze it from a student’s perspective. After hearing ADM’s complete plan, I immediately decided to ask them to handle it.

I am very grateful to ADM for helping me get my visa smoothly.

Not only very professional but also very good service.

I’m Ben from Cochin, Kerala. I came as a visitor in Canada and was looking for further studies. I contacted Admission Hub and Simran guided me and provided all information about the paper works for a study permit.

Their knowledge on this kind of administrative processes is quite specific and accurate, they can guide you exactly into all paperwork and suggest any kind of best practices in order to get your application just perfect.

From cover letter ideas to finance and personal documentation, they guided well.

I would definitely hire their services again, no doubt. It was totally worth it.

I’m from Pakistan. I was visiting my uncle and his family when i contacted Admission Hub. And was interested in changing my Visitor visa to a study permit, they assured me not to worry at all. All documents and application submission took a month for me. They helped me with all the things and were very responsive. It didn’t take long for my approval to come in and start my school . If you’re eager to get your visa application issues resolved, Admission Hub will do it for you, reach out to them.

I have applied my study permit through Admission Hub and have got the perfect kind of support from time to time from the agents. When ever i message or call them for any query, used to get response at the earliest and also had good support from them. They have always tracked the applications i have applied from the time of submission to the time of approval.

I would definitely suggest Admission Hub to many others.

Simran has been more and more supportive time to time and also taken care of my applications. Thanks a ton.

The process of changing my visitor visa to a study permit in Canada was challenging, but Admission Hub was there to help me every step of the way. It took me a long time to find the way myself, but with Admission Hub support now that I have it, I may remain longer in Canada and pursue my objective. Thank Admission Hub, especially Ms. Simran, for your devotion to my case during the application process. Furthermore, I am glad that you were always helpful and incredibly supportive during the process. Honestly, Admission Hub is a perfect resource for future Canada immigration planning, and I highly recommend it. 🙂

Q&A: Change from Visitor Visa to Study Permit inside Canada?

How to change from a Visitor Visa to Study Permit inside Canada?

To change your Canadian Visitor Visa Status to Study Permit (Visa), firstly you will have to complete a short-term prerequisite course. After you complete the prerequisite program, you will be eligible to apply study permit inside Canada.

Who is eligible to change from a Visitor Visa to Study Permit in Canada?

Only some people can apply for a study permit from inside Canada. 

  • Completed a program that is required for admission to a DLI while under Visitor Status

I am visiting in Canada, Can I apply for a Study Permit without leaving Canada?

You’re currently in Canada and one of these applies:

-Your spouse, the common-law partner has a valid study or work permit

-You’re an exchange student or visiting student

-You completed a short-term prerequisite course within the initial 6 months period while under Visitor Visa status

-Most importantly, the IRCC officer will assess whether you have met the terms before they approve your application. Subsequently, you will have implied status. In other words, while you are waiting for your Study Permit you can legally stay in Canada even your status has expired.

Can I study while waiting for my Study Permit?

International students who are eligible to apply Study Permit Inside Canada are eligible to continue studying while waiting for the approvals. However, they must cease studying if their application is refused.

Do I need to leave if I apply my permit inside Canada?

Your study Permit will be sent directly to Admission Hub office from IRCC visa processing center. Hence there is no need to cross the border.

How can Admission Hub Canada represent me for the application?

Our immigration consultants and admission team will guide you the process from the beginning to the end.  Certainly from enrolling a short-term pre-requisite program to the date you obtain your study permit. Moreover you will have on-going support until you reach Permanent Residency Status.

Can my spouse get a work permit in Canada?

Spouses can apply for an open work permit if their partner is an international student in Canada.

Can I apply even I was refused for Study Permit before?

Yes. Admission Hub has been helping hundred of international students changing Visitor Status to Study Permit. We have even helped applicants that were previously refused 3 times from an overseas Canadian  Embassy And successfully applied Canadian study permit inside Canada

Is there an age limit to change visa status to study in Canada?

If the applicants have more than 2 years after graduation or are over 25 years old, there is a risk of “advanced age” when you are applying for a student visa in Canada. However, there are no age eligibility criteria if you convert from a visitor visa to a study permit. Our customers have a wide range of ages, from 19 years old to 55 years old. Change from a tourist visa to a study visa has a 90% of success rate.

Can I change from tourist visa to study visa if I have an education gap?

Yes. Education gap is not a problem when you want to change your visitor visa to a study permit. If you are applying for a student visa from outside Canada, the education gap might be a problem, but if you are applying for a study permit inside Canada, the education gap is not a major problem as long as you can justify the reasons properly. We had students with years of education gap in between before applying for a study permit and were still successful.

I have history of visa refusal, can I apply for study permit in Canada?

If the applicants have a major change that occurred after the first visa application (such as inheritance, IELTS re-examination score improvement), then it is difficult for the Immigration Bureau to reverse the case and give you approval for the second time. 

If you are applying for a student visa from your country and got rejected, then apply for a travel visa, the chance of denial is lower than applying for a student visa. Once a tourist visa is issued, an additional channel and insurance are given to the student visa. After entering the country through a tourist visa, you can apply for a student visa in Canada by having a study permit first, it has a higher success rate. 

What is success rate on changing status to study status inside Canada?

Changing your visa status from a visitor visa to a study permit inside Canada has a 98% approval rate.

How changing visitor visa to study permit works?

The key to a successful transfering visa from travel visa to study visa is to register for a short-term prerequisite course (prerequisite course) within 6 months, and your course institution must be on the DLI list (list of designated educational institutions). 

After completing the short-term course and obtaining the university acceptance letter, you can apply for a study visa.
