I am pulling my hair out for this one and I desperately need for help and advice!

I am preparing my application for Open WP (Ontario) through Abu Dhabi. My family will accompany me and the embassy says (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5645E.PDF) that I need to apply for "Open Study Permit"s for my kids aged 6-18. Has anyone done this before and which form do I need to fill for the kids?

This: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/uae-eau/visas/minors-mineurs.aspx?view=d says:
Primary and secondary school (age 6-18): open study permit. The application can be made using the same form as the accompanying parent’s study or work permit. You do not require an acceptance letter from the child’s school in Canada.

Which form are they referring to? If its the "IMM1295E-Application For Work Permit Made Outside of Canada" how can I use a form meant for a work permit application as a study permit application for my children? I am stuck with just this small issue. Please help.

Here is the full guide that does not have details related to the study permit but just mentions that its required:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5487ETOC.asp

Does anyone have experience with this because I need to tick this item in the checklist and I need to apply for the study permit but do not know how.
