8. Letter of explanation
Even if you do not require a study permit, you may wish to apply
for one. If you decide that you want to continue your studies in
another program after you complete your short-term course (less
than six months), you should include a letter that explains why you
are applying. The letter will inform the visa officer that you
understand your options. For example, the letter might say:
'Dear Visa Officer,
I would like to have a study permit for ten-week course in
English because I would like to apply to a Canadian-university
program after I finish the course.'
