Benefits of obtaining a study permit after conversion from a tourist visa:
When the applicant obtains a study permit, their spouse can obtain a spousal work permit of the same duration. After graduation, the applicant can obtain a post-graduation work permit for up to 3 years.
Most immigration policies are linked to study or work experience in Canada. For most people, studying abroad has become an essential step towards immigrating to Canada.
In most provinces, children of study permit holders can attend nearby public primary and secondary schools for free, and this right to education is the same as for local residents; they do not need to worry about school placement like international students.
Some provinces offer almost the same healthcare benefits to international students as to citizens, such as Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
Children who reside in Canada for more than 18 months with a study permit or work permit are eligible for the Canada Child Benefit (CCB).
The benefits of a study permit and a permanent resident card (PR card) are essentially the same, but the PR card process, from provincial to federal, typically takes 2-5 years, while a study permit can be obtained in as little as one day, or at most 1-2 months. This significant difference leads many applicants to prioritize applying for a study permit to enjoy Canadian benefits sooner.
Characteristics of converting a tourist visa to a study permit: High approval rate, almost no failures, and easy application process, making it the choice of the vast majority of students applying to study in Canada. These applicants include:
Those who were previously refused a study permit application directly.
Older applicants (the oldest being over 50, most over 30).
Those with unclear study objectives. Even those purely aiming for immigration can succeed, such as those pursuing a master's degree through a college diploma or vocational training program.
Those with no prior history of funds. Applying for a study permit within Canada does not require substantial funds; only proof of funds is needed, without freezing or explaining the source of funds.
These clients have an extremely high visa refusal rate in China, but a near 100% visa approval rate once in Canada.
The Trend of Converting Tourist Visas to Student Visas
"Converting tourist visas to student visas" has become a complete study-and-immigration solution, covering everything from how to obtain a Canadian tourist visa, how to secure a 6-month stay upon entry, how to complete a short course quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively, how to submit a student visa application within days, how to appeal a visa refusal, which province to study in after obtaining the student visa, and which immigration program to pursue.
How to Convert from a Tourist Visa to a Student Visa
If your passport is blank, we recommend applying for a US visa first, as this greatly increases the chances of getting a Canadian tourist visa. See Tourist Visa (Apply for US Visa First).
If the applicant has a good travel record, they can also apply directly for a Canadian tourist visa. See Tourist Visa (Applicant with Better Qualifications).
Tourist visas are multiple-entry visas valid for up to 10 years. Subsequent study permits, post-graduation work permits, and bridging work permits do not require renewal of the temporary work permit.
The requirement to switch from a tourist visa to a student visa is that you must first complete a short course. This process includes applying to a school and switching from a tourist visa to a student visa.
