Child open study permit of PGWP holder?

[hellovn]

Hi All,

I am a full-time student now with my family and 2 kids. My wife is on an open work permit and my children are on open study permits. After finishing my program and get my PGWP, I know I need a full-time job in Noc A, B or O so that my wife can extend her open work permit. My question is:

If I do not have a full-time job after I finish my studies, can my children extend their open study permit?

Thanks,

1. Yes they can.

Great. Thanks PMM. I have read many articles in CIC website and it seems that if I do not have a full time job in NOC A, B or O, my wife could not apply for an open work permit but my children will be. That seems to be strange as only my wife has to leave the country or change her status to visitor, while the rest of her family can stay in Canada.

P/S: I am asking for my brother as I am already a Canadian

A spousal work permit is a far different situation than the study permit of a dependent child.

Your wife doesn't need to leave Canada. If you don't have a skilled job, she can apply online to change her status to visitor before her OWP expires.

Hi


1. Yes they can.

I found that minor children who are already in Canada do not need study permit to study at secondary schools and below. Is it right?
Thank you

What is your status? What is the child’s status?
