Can an American be a transfer student in Canada?

Can an American be a transfer student in Canada?
I live in the US but I would like to transfer to Canada for a year, maybe? I think it's called transfer. Maybe it's an exchange? Well, it's when you go to a different country and you live with a different family for a period of time to learn about their culture and traditions and etc. Does anyone know if that's possible? And any information would be nice. Even a website. :) Thank you~

why yes it's possible and there are many Canadian schools that offer tranfer programs. My school for instance set up a transfer program with a school in France. Just talk to your guidance councilor. Your school will have to set it up for you, unless you want to do a summer work exchange, which I know exists for Ontario students wanting ot go to Quebec to practice french. Bottom line, talk to your teachers, especially your guidance councilor who should be able to set you up with at least a website or name of a program where you can do a summer exchange.

The Canada Student Loans Program and the Canada Student Grants Program help by providing student financial assistance in the form of loans and grants to Canadians attending post-secondary education in most provinces and territories.The website is http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca.Loans – money that you pay back Grants – money that you do not pay back The federal government’s student loans and grants make it easier for Canadian students and families to obtain a post-secondary education.

Is it possible to change a visitor visa to student visa or work permit from within Canada?
My friend intends to travel to Canada on a visit visa and stay with his relatives (Permanent Residents). He wants to change his visitor visa to student visa or work permit from within Canada itself, basically settle down there and become permanent resident. What needs to be done and how. If you have similar experience in this regard or have heard of it, please reply.

I think your best bet would be to call Immigration Canada directly to find out about this as you will not be able to get an answer you can rely on here on this forum. Your friend should NOT try to stay in Canada illegally as he will find himself jeopardizing any future chances of immigrating legally in the future. The short-term gain is not worth the long-term pain, believe me! If he stays illegally and is eventually deported, he will find it pretty much impossible to EVER come again in the future as he will have blown his chances. An illegal immigrant does not find it easy to locate "under the table" work in Canada and he would not be able to attend for post-secondary education in Canada if he does not have legal status to be here.

He will have to live in Canada for 3 full years before he can apply for citizenship and must work at least 1 year of that..I checked on moving there..If he's interested in school, let me know..I have a contact person..if not he should search the web under "ways to become a Canadian citizen" and it will tell him who to contact. gl

Yeah it can be done but knowing the way immigration operates it will probably cost ya $2000 extra dollars
