Students who are inside Canada with a visitor visa and wish to pursue Higher Education might want to extend their stay in Canada to do so without flying back and forth to your country.
One route would be to apply to a school in Canada in order to gain admission as a full-time student. As long as the course is less than 6 months you do not need a Study Permit.
The next step is to apply to a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada. These are post-secondary educational institutions (universities, colleges, community colleges, vocational schools, trade schools, etc.) that have been approved by provincial or territorial authorities to host international students. Go here to see a list of DLI in Canada and for further information.

You can apply closer to the deadline – which is often around February – but the later you apply, the lower your chances of gaining a place as an international student. February to August is 6 months of course, and if you’ve already used up a couple of months of your Visitor Visa, then you’ll have decided whether to: Apply for an extension of your Visitor Visa
