Hi everyone! I really could use some help here, I'm desperate. I've already posted this topic on the Visit Visa section, becouse I don't know witch section applies for my case. Sorry if I'm being too repetitive. Sleepy

Me and my wife decided to stay for a month (december-2013) in Canada. We applied to a Canada visa and we said on IMM5257E that our Purpose of visit to Canada was TOURISM. We received a V-1 Multiple TRV.

Some months ago we decided to stay to study English too. We arranged everything and we've boarding in September-24, pretending to do the same trip planned before, but with two periods of English classes from October-7 to December-6 and from January-6 to March-7.

I tough that we didn't need any changes on our visa, but, yesterday someone said that exist and specific visa fto study less than six months, the SX-1.

Someone can please state if its really necessary to have a SX-1 to our plans or the V-1 should be fine?

Thanks in advance.

~Evandro.

V1 is fine as your primary purpose will be to visit, with a short term english classes thrown in.
