Wanting to study in Canada

[lecy2000]

I'm from Australia and am planning on applying for the new WHP permit in 2008 (thanks for that advice PMM!) but I would also like to look into studying in Canada once I'm there. I know that I don't need a permit if the course is shorter than six months, but what happens if it is longer? Do I need to leave the country and apply for a new Study Visa?

Thanks,
Alyce

If you have a work permit, then you can apply in Canada for a change of status to student.

One of my friends have recommended a course in University of Waterloo it is called the MBET:
http://cbet.uwaterloo.ca/ , I dont know much about Canada , though I can find good information about accommodation, Visas, work etc, but have not found much about MBET.
Does anybody here know about this course or has been related to in any ways.
I am looking for some feedback on it so that I can make a decision based on some concrete evaluation.
Look forward for help.

Holders of Work permits can apply in Canada (Vegreville) for a change of status to student.
