@all,

Listen before you all started applying for your visas. Ofcourse you can study for a professional course in Canada if the course is six months and above. You must obtain authorization before any other thing from the Canadian embassy,

What is a student authorization?

A student authorization is a form issued by an immigration officer. It allows you, after your admittance, to remain in Canada to take an academic, professional or vocational training course at an approved university, college or other institution.

Who needs a student authorization?

If you are not a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or a dependant of a diplomat accredited to Canada, you must obtain a student authorization.

Are there any courses for which a student authorization is not required?
A student authorization is not required if the course is:

an English or French language course that lasts a maximum of three months;

not academic, professional or vocational; for example;
self-improvement, general interest courses such as arts and crafts;
courses included in tour packages as a secondary activity for tourists; and
day care or nursery school programs which are not a compulsory part of the elementary school system.

Where do I apply?
You apply to the nearest Canadian visa office. You must obtain permission to study in Canada before leaving for Canada. However, the following persons may apply from within Canada:

dependants of athletes, media representatives, members of the Clergy, or military personnel on assignment in Canada;
dependants of officials of foreign governments working in Canada with a federal or provincial agency under an exchange agreement;
dependants of a person who has a valid student or employment authorization; and
a person who is a holder of a Minister's permit and his or her dependants.
In addition, the following persons may apply at a Canadian port of entry:
citizens and permanent residents of the United States, St. Pierre and Miquelon, or Greenland.

Do I pay a fee?
Yes, a processing fee is charged.

What are the basic requirements for student authorization?

You must satisfy the visa officer that you meet the requirements of the Canadian Immigration Act and Regulations and that you will be in Canada for a temporary stay. You must also:

satisfy a visa officer that you will be able to return to your country or be admitted to another country after your studies;
have been unconditionally accepted by an approved educational institution;
have enough money during your stay in Canada to pay for:
tuition fees;
living expenses for yourself and accompanying dependants; and
return transportation for yourself and accompanying dependants;
be law abiding and have no record of criminal activity (you may be asked to provide a Police Clearance Certificate);
not be a risk to the security of Canada;
produce any additional documents requested by the visa officer to establish your admissibility;
complete a medical examination, if required; and
pay the fee.
