Hello, ALL,
I am a visitor currently in Canada since 17 months,
I am a visiting PhD student at the University of Calgary, fully funded by my home government till Oct. 2014 then my Canadian supervisor offered a full fund for the next two years and I already applied at the University of Calgary, got an admission offer, and just waiting for the study permit.
1- am I eligible to apply for study permit from within Canada after the regulation change in June, 1st 2014 ?
2- what is meant by "designated learning institution" ? doesn't the University Of Calgary considered one of the designated learning institution(s) ?
Visitors may apply for a study permit from within Canada if they are at the pre-school, primary or secondary level, are on an academic exchange or a visiting student at a designated learning institution, or have completed a course or program of study that is a condition for acceptance at a designated learning institution.
thanks
