To study in Canada, you will be required to apply and receive a Canadian study permit. However, depending on the circumstances in which you are applying for a visa, you can exempt from the requirement. You would not require a study permit, if you want to pursue a program, which is of six months or less. Courses may be taken on a part time basis or a full time. The extension of the visa will not be granted to complete a short term program. Overseas students who do not have a study permit and wish to enrol under educational program are supposed to apply for a study permit from outside Canada. You can expect an exception if a course is short in nature and can be completed within original period of stay specified upon their entry to Canada.
The immigration and Citizenship of Canada suggests foreign nationals seek a study permit for a program of six months or less if you want to work on campus or continue your studies in Canada after the completion of the program.
