Spherocyte 1 Posted March 12 I’m currently awaiting approval of my LMIA work permit. I am an essential worker. I apply for an open work permit for my husband (essential worker)and children. I was advised that I would need to apply for visitor visas and not study permits for my children as they are primary school age. IRCC have now said that I do indeed need to apply for study permits for them IMM1294. I’m not sure how to link this to my account and when I try to apply for them as a new application, it says they do not qualify for study permits. Any advice on who I should contact regarding clarification on this matter or anyone in the same boat? I’d be grateful for any advice on this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mykhell 0 Posted April 2 Hi, That's a bummer, but I am shocked at those who gave you that advise in the first place. IRCC already clearly state it that a study not visitor's visa should be applied for, for any child of school-going age. At any rate, I am not in the same boat, and I am sure you must have applied by now, but in the occasion that you haven't, I don't think there is any problem. I also don't think it would delay your own or your husband's work visas. But you might have to pay for a different application fee. The long and short is, don't fret over it. Just apply and hope for the best. Myke. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
