My sister & her husband are applying for a WP (FCA). Is it possible to bring their kids from Philippines to Canada? 2 boys 10 yrs. old & 4 yrs. old.

Has anyone ever tried this or know someone who have this kind of experience?

Thanks

When you complete IMM 5645, you provide the names of your children and indicate if they will accompany you. You will need to obtain TRVs for them and are thus subject to normal TRV review rules, but people do routinely bring their families to Canada as part of a work permit.

I don't see anything that indicates bringing one's children is an issue, but again, they need to ensure the VO is convinced that they will leave at the end of the work permit period.

The problem will be the money to support themselves and their children. FCA @ minimum salary jobs, it would be difficult.
