Good morning to all,

my situation is the follwing:
I have a study permit until sept 29 2018. I'm in Canada with my wife and tow children. My wife has Open Work Permit and my children study permit, all will expire in september 29 2018. I applied for an extension of my study permit my wife's open work permit on June 20th because I had moved the starting date of my diploma in a private college and I just started study on august 6th. The extension will be until october 2019

Now the problem is that I'm in BC and I went to Vancouver School Board to register my children but they says me that without the extension they can't register my children. I have applied on June 20th and there's no update until now. I sent an inquiry and none response until now.

I'm worried because in BC my children can study for free if my wife's open work permit is valid for one year or more, but with the delay I think that when they send me the permits it will be in october so my wife's work permit won't have the validity of one year or more.

I want to know if you know what could I do, because my children are in house doing nothing. An option that I was reading is about Ontario, Toronto because I read that they don't have the restriction of the validity of the parent's permit. Do you know if is it true?

Thank you
 
You would need proof that you live in Ontario. Seems pretty drastic especially since you haven't been given an extension for your whole family. If you are planning on applying for PGWP you should make sure your private college qualifies.
