Hello,

I am planning to go language course for 8 months in BC. Do I need study permit? If yes, can I apply for the work permit too? What is the duration of visa or permit for 8 months course? 1 year or exact 8 months?

thanks

1. Any course over 6 months, you require a study permit. It would be probably for 9 months.
2. ESL students don't get work permits.

You say that ESL students don't get work permits. There is a section on this at the Canada Immigration site at cic.gc.ca/english/information/faq/study/index.asp

Except that you should read this section http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-offcampus-who.asp

You are not eligible to apply for an Off-Campus Work Permit if you are:

"attending a participating institution and registered in either an English as a Second Language or French as a Second Language program or"
