Applying for a Student Permit for Dependents

[WandaWits]

Hi! I am currently an international student. How do I apply for a study permit for my dependents once they are in Canada?

So do they have visitor visas? Ages?

Yes, they are on visit visas, 12 and 16 years old.

Yes, they are on visit visas, 12 and 16 years old.

So you have been asked to apply for study permits if they are in Canada to attend school? Usually they can attend school if you are student on visitor visas. What grade is the 16 year old - 10 or 11.

He is in grade 11. My kids can only stay for 6 months now, that's why I need to apply for a study permit. They have started going to school though.

Apply for a study permit like you did.

Not sure why they need study permits if they are in school. Processing times will take weeks.
