What are the requirements for accompanying students to Canada?

Accompanying conditions of studying in Canada

1. There is a legal marriage relationship between the applicant accompanying the visa and the international students.

2. There are children, brothers and sisters and other lineal relatives between the visa applicant and the international students.

3. The applicant accompanying the visa can provide sufficient economic proof.

Channels for parents to apply for accompanying study.

Path 1: When applying for a study visa, parents will sign multiple visit visas. Canada allows parents or spouses of foreign students to apply for a visit visa and live in Canada with foreign students. When entering the country, the intention of accompanying the students should be made clear to the customs officials, and the visiting records allowing them to stay for a long time can be issued to their parents or children to achieve the purpose of accompanying the students for a long time. At the same time, because it is a round-trip visa, you don't need to apply again for the next entry and exit. It should be noted that this visa does not include working in Canada.

Path 2: Applying for a visa to visit relatives In the past, it was the most common method to convert to an OWP visa in Canada. As long as foreign students have a college degree or above in a Canadian institution and hold a valid study permit, the success rate of parents getting a visit visa to enter Canada will be very high.

Path 3: When applying for a study visa, it is not common for parents to bring a visa directly, but the advantage is that parents have obtained a work visa and work permit with the same validity period as the study permit for international students, so they can work in Canada and do not need to re-apply for a visa when traveling to and from Canada. In addition, if you can find an employer's guarantee and apply for labor market advice, you have a better chance of getting a work visa.
