Thanks for elaborating.

By "school visa" you mean the one that allows one to get education, including higher education, right?

Not elizabeth, but that's the visa I had when I moved to Canada from Russia a few years back. Went through middle/high school with it before getting my PR and citizenship. Looking at this website, it seems like the student visa also extends to university/post-secondary education, although be warned, you'd have to pay two to three times as much compared to someone with their permanent residence/citizenship documents (for my program that would mean around $20 000-25 000 versus the $8000 I'm paying right now).

Thanks for the info. I'll keep the costs in mind when considering things.
