Study permit for a minor child.

[carlosmfr]

I have a work permit based on a LMIA, my wife recently got approved for her open work permit. But my 4 kids, ages 9, 7, 4 and 4 have not Visa yet. How difficult is to get their study permits applications approved?. And how much money do I need to show in order to get them approved?

Don’t know if you will have to show a specific amount but you do need to support 4 children and it sounds like you live in Toronto. Your wife may not be able to work because of the childcare costs after school (maybe before as well). Not sure when you started working but you may not qualify for CCB yet. It’s unclear what kind of job you are doing and how much you are making.

I don't live in Toronto, I live in Vancouver. I was student here from August 2015 living here and paying taxes. I work in the construction field with a Work permit base on LMIA NOC B
My rate is 24 per hour for a total of 49000+ CAD.
My wife got approved for her open work permit and she is able to start working whenever she wants. My kids don't have their visas yet. That's why I am asking info.
Thanks

You can apply for TRVs although you may be asked to apply for TRVs from some visa officers. Unless your wife is going to be making significantly more than you or working alternating shifts it will be extremely difficult to live in Vancouver with a family of 6 with around 50K a year. School can end between 2-3:30pm and start between 7:30-9:00am depending on the schools. Since work times rarely coincide with work times plus commuting times, you must pay for childcare before and/or after school. That could easily be $350-700/month per child. It may not make sense for your wife to work during Traditional work hours if childcare costs more than her salary plus transportation costs. Finding accommodations for a family your size will likely take at least 50% of your salary in greater Vancouver. You really need to look at your budget and the cost of living in Vancouver plus when you will qualify for CCB which will at least help you with some basic costs like food.

Ok, thank you. I have all this calculated already. I have a second job and yes I can Apply for CCB because I have more than 18 months living in Canada and paying taxes. In Vancouver all depends on the area you want to live. Surrey is not so expensive like the city of Vancouver. As far you can live from downtown as cheap it would be. Transport here is really good as well.
My daughters can start kindergarten on January 7 months before they become 5. If were in Ontario they can start early Kindergarten but only it works in Ontario only.
I work 6:00 to 3pm so I can pick them up. This are not my worries, I have everything budgeted.
