My Husband has got a temporary work permit visa (valid for 4 years)and has started to do his fellowship from Ottawa University from this month . I would like to join him with my children(minors) this year (by end of Dec) . I would like know to whether i can apply for a dependent visa , if not which other criteria is applicable for me? Where can i apply for the visa online? I also plan to do my higher studies in Canada , if so can I change my dependent visa to students visa once i reach Canada?If i apply for a temporary visa for us is it possible for my children to do schooling in Canada with a temporary visa?Would it be advisable to do upfront medical checkup for me and my children. Please help me with this topic out asap .
