3B.11 Bringing Dependants to Canada (Study + Open Work Permit)
Eligible students may apply with dependants, such as a spouse and children, depending on current immigration policies. In some cases, spouses may apply for an open work permit while the student studies. Approval is based on the student’s programme, financial strength, and immigration requirements. Policies may change, so proper guidance is important before applying with dependants.
