Hi
What are the chances to get a student visa when you have two kids as dependent?
Does the student visa allow you to work in canada too?
1. You would have to show 17,000 for 1 year of study plus first year tuition for you and 2 kids.
2. You would not be able to work off campus until after 6 months of schooling are complete and then only part time during the school year.
