You would have to apply to an office outside Canada, probably Brazil, unless
you will have at least 12 months status after your course so you could apply
at Buffalo. But you would have to ensure that you have a US visa to attend
an interview. Also don't forget you require 1 years work experience to
qualify. Suggest you look at www.cic.gc.ca
