Student Dependant Guide For Canada Student Visa

  • If you are planning to study in Canada, you may be able to bring your family members as dependents with you while you study. The eligibility criteria and application process will depend on the specific immigration program and visa category you are applying under.
  • If you are applying for a study permit, you may be able to bring your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children with you to Canada. To do so, you will need to include their information and supporting documentation in your study permit application.
  • If your family members are not included in your initial study permit application, they may be able to apply for a visitor visa or work permit to accompany you to Canada. However, it is important to note that visitor visas and work permits have their own eligibility criteria and application process, and not all family members may be eligible to accompany you to Canada under these programs.
  • Additionally, bringing family members with you to Canada may require additional financial support, as you may need to show that you have enough funds to support yourself and your dependents during your stay in Canada.

It is recommended that you consult with a qualified immigration lawyer or contact the Canadian government’s Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for more information on the eligibility criteria and application process for bringing family members as dependents with you to Canada while you study.
