Hi all. I am in the process of applying for a study permit, and I am contemplating my options. I initially planned to go alone and then have my spouse and 2 young children join me, some months or a year after. Is this likely to be approved by CIC or do they frown on that sort of thing? I am now contemplating having my spouse apply with me on open work permit, but I'm worried CIC might not approve TRV for kids if both of us are in Canada. Just trying to see what my best options are, as my program lasts for 2 years, and I don't want to be without my family for the entire 2 years. Any thoughts?
Can spouse & children join me in Canada after getting Study Visa

My post mentioned nothing about guarantees. I clearly asked what is LIKELY, and I have seen persons offering opinions about the likelihood of approvals or rejections all the time on this forum. I also asked for THOUGHTS on the issue, i.e. what do you THINK might be the response in any of these cases. I believe this forum is for us to share HELPFUL advice and information to help each other through the process. Thanks for your response, but unfortunately it was not at all helpful, did not answer any of my questions and rather came off as snarky - which I'm hoping was not deliberate.Regina said:
Does anyone wish to offer any HELPFUL thoughts on how you think the VO could view any of my scenarios, to help me make a decision on how to proceed?
It would be best if you apply for yourself first and then after getting visa apply for your spouse and children once you're in Canada, as it would be a good point for showing home ties to VO at the time of your study permit application.babymali said:
And then "the ties" would like to get visas to Canada too?
Where will be wife's and kids' ties then?
