Hi, I am currently a visitor in canada ( for a while) and I am from the states, Ill be taking a online course from the united states. I have a question, reading this from the CIC website "However, some distance learning courses include an in-Canada portion to the program (e.g., special tutorials or the writing of final exams). If the overall course of study is greater than six months, then the student requires a study permit for the in-Canada portion of the program, even if the in-Canada portion is less than six months. The duration of the study permit should be for the duration of the in-Canada portion only." worries me. I have to take TWO tests that will be proctored in canada, since they need to be under official proctors. Do I need a study permit to just take two tests while I am here? It would be like 2 days of tests, everything else is online and from the US. Thanks! Info on it found here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/students/consider.asp
To simplify- While visiting, I would be taking my ONLINE course that is at a US school. It is a two year course and I need to take two tests that are proctored in person. Do I need a study permit? If so, how would I get a study permit for that if it's not a Canadian school? Makes no sense to me, thanks!
