HELP! Accompanying Family member LMIA ! Why is your family member visiting Canada?

[Fargoloz]

I am applying for a temporary work permit and accompanying my wife and two kids, one would enter school.
I have this question Why is your family member visiting Canada?
possible answers are

- Visit - Tourism
- Visit - All other types
- Less than 6 months studies
- Study more than 6 months
- Work in a work permit exempted category
- Work LMIA
- Work with open work permit
- Transit

Should I pick Visit all other types for the wife and little baby and study for more 6 months for the older kid?

Thank you

You need to get approved for your start-up visa first.

So you mean wife should apply for open work permit even if she's not going to work!

and both kids apply for visit even if one kid is eligible to enter school !

Yes. SOWP doesn’t require someone to work. A TRV is often denied for spouses because they aren’t a temporary visitor. TRV is accepted for children attending elementary and high school. There are some visa officers who ask to apply for a study permit but if you read the application information a TRV is supposed to be fine for children.

Hi, I got the same problem. I am applying for a work permit because I have a postdoctoral job offer. My husband and my two dependent children will accompany me. When I add my husband, for the following question

"Why is your family member visiting Canada?"
I choose
"Work with an Open Work Permit"

and the questionnaire will continue. But next, when I add my first dependent kid for the answer to the above question I choose

"Visit - All other types"
and then it continues with the following question
"Does your family member want to apply for a Parent and Grandparent Supervisa?"
which I answer
"No"

and finally, it gives this message

"Based on your answers, your family member does not need a visa to transit or visit Canada.

If you wish to continue with your application, please modify your previously answered questions."

I do not know how to apply for my dependent children online together with my application. What would be the problem? Could you please help me with this? Thanks
