[QUOTE=Gentleman Travel]Could I really just bring a girl here (Ottawa) for a few months of part-time English language training?[/QUOTE]
No. She has to be attending the program full-time to qualify for a student visa. Evidence of funds, preferably held in escrow, for payment of the first year of studies must be presented. The student has to be accepted into the program before applying for the visa.
In some cases the student visa may not be required if the study program is six months or less.
