I'm a Canadian citizen with a Working Holiday Visa, currently residing in France.
I was accepted into a music study program. The institution is private and is not recognized by the education system in France. The program schedule is 10 hours a week. For 1 year. There are more years as an optional path. Their diplomas aren't recognized by the state. I am unsure whether this is considered a full-time study program. It is definitely not a university program..

Can I study in this program with my WHV?

If not,

Can i apply for a student visa within France, during my WH stay?

Also the institution has been vague about this, in the case I need a student visa... I need a pre-inscription paper provided by them, without it I can't apply for it. But they only provide this paper 2 weeks before the program starts and the student visa takes several months to process.

I would prefer to be able to take the program without having to apply for a student visa.

    I believe it depends on the exact nature of the program and whether it is degree-granting. I recommend you ask the Canadian Embassy in Paris.
