A person is here in Canada with his wife on tourist visa. The wife was pregnant when she came here and has now delivered the baby. His tourist visa will expire in Nov 2016.The husband has got tentative admission in a trades college in Winnipeg for Jan 2017.The husband wants to apply for study permit.
Q Can a tourist apply for study permit from within Canada?
Q what are the chances that the study permit would be approved? How can he show strong ties with home country and that he would go back? He has a Canadian baby now.
Q What are the options for the wife? extension of tourist visa/ apply for open work permit along with husband's study permit?

Inputs would be highly appreciated.
