Hi everyone,
I've read considerable amount of dual intent posts on the forum but I have a slightly different issue which I have not been able to get clarification on. It is as follows:
I have applied for PR for my common-law partner and dependant children. They are holding passports from a visa exempt country, I have applied Outland. I would like to be in Canada by the start of school semester in Feb 2013. I have checked with the school and they will accept them as long as CIC issue a study permit.
My question is that if it was just my partner it should be relatively straight forward (just visiting, no work and will have ties to the resident country). However, asking the VO for study permits for the children may make life more complicated at the border?
Has anyone had experience with a similar situation?
Cheers
