I have a question about visit visa conversion to dependent of student visa. I am currently on student visa, and had gotten my wife and daughter visa visas for travel. Since the pandemic, they were unable to travel in 2020, because of restrictions. Under special circumstances they were allowed entry to Canada in Dec.
I need info regarding the following:

1) How do I convert the visit visa to dependent visa for my daughter. Do I apply for a study permit for her or its some other type of visa ? (she is only 5 years old at this time, and only eligible for KG)

2) Can my wife get a work permit at this time? Do I apply separately for this then my daughter's application?

3) Can someone guide me on how the application is done on the Canada.ca website? Do I apply as principal applicant, or should my wife be the principal applicant (with
my documents attached). Please note I don't need to extend or make changes to my visit visa or study permit at this time.

4) Should I apply for my daughter's study permit for her school or I would need to apply for something else for her to get her visa as long as my study permit?

5) The processing times are really long for these applications. If by the time, my wife and daughter's application process starts, and I have decided to graduate by then, will the application be automatically cancelled?

6) Also my daughter's visit visa expires in April (as per her previous passport). She now has a new passport. Can I apply for and receive a new visitor visa for her (as a separate application) or it cannot be applied for while she is in Canada ? Or it can be done but she will have to apply separately (meaning not using my profile) ?

Thanks for reading through.

When do your studies end?
 
My studies officially end Dec 2021. Although I am considering graduating earlier in April 2021 (have not finalized it yet). This can be done by switching to a degree whose requirements I will have completed by then. Hence was somewhat confused about which procedure to follow. In case I apply for graduation by April; will all my applications, that I send now, be rejected (since processing times are really long atm) ? That's what I am wondering/worried about.
I know in case I follow the set path, I can apply for their status change normally and don't have to worry about anything.
At the same time, I would like to know, in the alternate scenario of me graduating earlier, how will that affect the applications ?
I may be a student now, but lets say the processing time is 4 -6 months, and I decide to graduate in April, would my applications that i send now be automatically rejected?
