Studying Without A Study Permit
If the following situations apply to you, you can study without a permit in Canada:
* You will be studying in Canada for 6 months or less. However, if you wish to continue to study beyond 6 months, you will need to apply for a study permit. You must submit your application for a study permit to a visa office outside of Canada.
* You are a family member or staff member of a foreign representative to Canada accredited by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada
* You are a member of a foreign armed force under the Visiting Forces Act
Also,
* Children of foreign workers who have valid work permits may study in pre-schools, kindergartens, public primary or secondary schools without study permits. (See Children Studying in Canada)
Even when you do not require a study permit, there are advantages to getting one. See Advantages of having a study permit.
