IEP in Quebec ¿What do I need to ensure my enter to Canada?

[Gaby Vergara A]

Hi guys I need help !!!

Next year I will attend to a IEP (Intensive English Program) at Concordia University in Montreal (Quebec), this program is only 3 months length.

On CAC website it says that for a study program of less than 6 months length, It's not necessary a study permit. But if you want to pursue academic programs in the province of Quebec, you may require CAQ (
Certificat d'acceptation du Québec") to ensure my entry enter for studies purposes to Canada. Also I need a MIDI's (Le ministére de I' Immigration, de la diversité et de I'Inclusion) letter.

If my program has a lenght of less of 3 months maybe I don't even need a Study permit and I can travel just with a "Visitor Status"(Tourist). On the other hand maybe I need a Study Permit, CAQ and more .. ...

If anyone knows valuable or useful information

Thanks in advance!!

Pd: I went to the Canadian Embassy (Chile) and they said that they are not able to answer regarding of Study Permits, Visa matters of Quebec. (nooot useful AT ALL!!)

Hola,
1.- Chile tiene excepción de visa para Canada, solo debes solicitar eTA, por lo que puedes hacer un curso de idiomas por un tiempo menor a 6 meses.
2.- Puedes extender tu estadía, demostrando fondos económicos e interés diferente a estudios.

3.- Para solicitar un permiso de estudio antes el gobierno federal para asistir a cualquier institución en Quebec (idiomas, estudios regulares, etc), debes solicitar un CAQ, el cual lo puedes hacer durante du estadia como turista.
4.- Para solicitar un CAQ, debes tener una carta de algún instituto reconocido por el Gobierno de Quebec y el Gobierno de Canada.
