Hi,
If my spouse enters Canada and converts to Study permit, does she need to leave Canada and re-enter?

I hold valid work permit

Thanks,

Yes - your spouse will need to leave Canada and re-enter. This can be done as a US / Canada land border.

No - you don't.

Search for the word "flagpole" or "flagpoling" on this forum. There is a lot of information on how this is done.

I hope that OP knows that his spouse has to apply to LA for the Study permit.
