Hi this is my situation. I am looking to invest in a franchise in Quebec. I want to go to meet with them. Can I go on my ETA or do I need to get a business visa? I will be there for only two weeks.

Since the business is located in Quebec, I applied for a course to strengthen my French speaking skills and got admitted into the university for the winter session. Now I will study this course only if the franchise prospects look good otherwise there won’t be any use.

I was thinking of coming back to my visa free country and applying for a student visa. However I have been told that the possibility of my getting a student visa may not be that great since I already have a Master’s degree and it doesn’t make much sense going there to study French. So a visa may not be granted for the purpose. Therefore I am told that it would be easier to go there as a visitor and change to a student visa.

I am confused as to which would be the better option. Please advise
