Student Visa - can parents accompany?

[claudeteacher]

Hello,

Sorry if this has been covered, did some searches and did not find any info:

I have a student from South Korea who is living/studying here in Canada (Quebec). he is currently enrolled in high school and plans to remain in the Quebec school system until he graduates from university.

His parents are independently wealthy and have decided that they would like to come to Canada and be with him until he completes his studies. They are looking for options that would allow this. They do not specifically plan to remain in Canada themselves. Is there a for of visa(like the super visa) for parents to accompany their children studying here in Canada?
tnx

No - there is no super visa for parents of international students. They would have to apply for a regular tourist visa which allows a six month visit. They can apply to extend their visit - but it's unlikely they will be granted more than an extension or two.
