Visitor To Study

You can apply to alter your status to visitor, but you won't be able to apply for a new study or work permit from within Canada once your current study or work permit expires. This implies you won't be able to extend your study or employment permit any longer. From within Canada, most visitors are ineligible to apply for a study or work permit. You may have to leave Canada to apply for a new study or work permit if your status is changed to tourist. As a result, if you need additional time to apply for your permission, we strongly advise you not to change your status to visitor.
