Do primary and secondary school students need a guardian to apply for a study visa in Canada?

In the past, many college students eventually went abroad to study for graduate students and doctors, but now people who go abroad are getting younger and younger, and many of them began to go abroad after junior high school. Those middle school students who are not yet adults need guardians, and the requirements for guardians in different provinces in Canada are different!

For underage students, guardians are needed during their study in Canada, but the standards of adulthood in Canada and other provinces are different. Guardians play a very important role for underage students studying in Canada. They are the "parents" and shields of Canadian students, and also the "eyes, ears and mouths" of their biological parents. Guardian acts as a bridge between children, schools, parents and host families. All major and large-scale activities of the school need to be accompanied by guardians, such as freshmen registration and school celebration. Communicate with host family members for a certain period of time; Go to the school at least 4 times each semester, communicate with the person in charge of the school or the teacher, understand the school situation of everyone, and also bear legal responsibility.

When applying for a visa to study abroad, the embassy will ask the applicant to provide notarization of the guardianship statement of parents and Canadian guardians. Applicants who need to apply for a guardianship statement include:

-18 years old and attending a school in Alberta, Manetho, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec or Saskatchewan;

-Or under the age of 19, attending schools in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Northwest Territories, Nu Loewit or Yukon.

The guardian must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, aged over 25.

There must be two copies of guardianship materials, one is the guardianship certificate notarized by the Canadian guardian in the Canadian law firm, and the other is notarized by the parents authorized by China's parents in the notary office. Students need to inform their guardians of their contact information before entering the country. Guardians have the due obligation to accept spot checks by the Immigration Bureau. If the student's guardian knows nothing about the student's situation after entering the country and is randomly selected, the consequences will be very serious.

Guardian role:

The guardian is the child's "parents" abroad. If the child has problems, he can contact the guardian for help. Guardians are generally responsible for explaining students' study and life in Canada, handling bank accounts and mobile phone packages, ensuring that students' host families provide adequate food and care, and assisting in changes if children are dissatisfied with their host families; Maintain children's interests, have attendance problems and communicate with the school; Understand the students' examination situation in order to communicate with parents; If you have any questions in your life, you can ask your guardian at any time, such as losing your wallet, taking a driver's license, seeing a doctor, etc.
