Hi all. I'm a Filipino working in Dubai and i'm planning to study in Ontario. I have a common law partner for over 7 years and we have children together. I'm still learning the immigration process and I found this forum which I think is very helpful. My question is, is it better if I apply for the student visa first and once I get the visa, we apply for my partner's visa and we leave together or is it better to process both our visa applications at the same time?
