Hi snow,
in our case, my husband is the principal applicant which is an international visa while I have an open work permit as his dependent and kids have dependent visa from their father too...i am working which means i am paying taxes which gives us privilege to send the kids to school for free...after we filed for income tax in 2009, we were able to get GST/HST credit and ontario sales tax and after 18 months, we were able to apply for child tax benefit (though the amount depends if your salary is low, there is a certain amount for a certain salary, we used to get more when my husband is still a student and only me is working but when he started working then our salary combined increased so the child benefits became less too)...
hope i was able to answer your question

snow said:larxace, I just wanted to confirm with your statement:
1. my husband applied with me as his spouse together with our 2 kids and we didn't encounter any problem at all, no interview, no additional documents, not sure if we are just lucky or we have convinced them that we are coming back after his education, but its a very good try...now both kids enjoyed the free education even if we are still not landed immigrants and we are getting support from gov't. I think you just need to really make sure to convince them that you have a strong tie in your home country, i.e. you own a property, etc...and you have enough funds to show that you can survive here in canada and will not be a liability...
==================
I also have 3 kids and I want to make sure that they can study for free while parents are on a study visa? and what kind of government support you have been receiving for your kids with the status of student visa?did you mean the child tax benefit? please give me more details with regards to your children, thanks
