Studying in Canada

A Taiwanese friend recently asked me about what’s involved in coming to Canada to study and I couldn’t give her an accurate answer.
She wants to enroll in a private language school here (i.e a buxiban rather than a college/university) and she was asking about the difficulties a Taiwanese student may have in getting a Canadian study visa. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is the onus on her or the school? How difficult/costly is the process? Thanks in advance!

cdn trade office in taiwan (chinese site):

canada.org.tw/chinese/index.php

can’t remember if there’s anything useful at the latter, but can search from there.

Thanks for that info. I’ve actually visited the government site myself. I’m familiar with the application process, but she’s wondering if people get turned down, how strict they are etc.
