what is the possibility of getting a study visa from within the canada if travelling on tourist visa ?

What Documents are required for study visa from within ?

Please anyone who knows about this ??

I think you can't do that. You need to apply in your home country since you only have a tourist visa. What if they asked for your your passport?

I think you can only apply for a study visa from outside Canada not whilst you are in Canada.

You can, but only if you fall under the following categories.

"If you belong to one of the following groups, you need to apply to extend your stay in Canada as a student:

minor children studying at the primary or secondary level
exchange or visiting students
students who have completed a short-term course or program of study, which is a condition for acceptance at a designated institution
holders of temporary resident permits (TRP) valid for a minimum of six months and their family members
spouses or common-law partners (and their family members) who are in Canada and who have applied for permanent residency if they have been deemed eligible to apply (first stage approval)
person whose study permit was authorized by a visa office abroad where the permit was not issued at a port of entry
family members of athletes on a Canadian-based team, media representatives, members of the clergy or military personnel assigned to Canada
family members or a private staff member of a foreign representative who is properly accredited, may apply within Canada 90 days before or after they are no longer authorized to study without a study permit
foreign nationals and their family members holding a valid study or work permit"

Hmmm, does TRP mean visitor visa ?

Hmmm, does TRP mean visitor visa ?

No - a TRP is not a visitor visa. A TRV is a visitor visa.

A TRP is a special class of visa that is very difficult to get that allows people who are inadmissible to Canada (typically due to a crime) to enter Canada. You have a TRV - not a TRP.
