Minor Refusal - Study Permit Needed

[Ely0802]

Hello!

I hope someone can spare some time to share their experience. Here’s the timeline:

• December 9, 2024: Applied for SOWP and 3 visitor visas for my kids (ages 3, 4, and 7).
• December 23, 2024: Refused due to non-submission of NBI Clearance.
• December 26, 2024: Reapplied for SOWP and 3 visitor visas for my kids (ages 3, 4, and 7).
• January 15, 2025: Approved SOWP and 2 visitor visas for my kids (ages 3 and 4); refused visitor visa for my 7-year-old. Reasons:
  1. As you are school age, you are required to submit a study permit application.
  2. Your proposed length of stay in Canada is inconsistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.
• January 19, 2025: Applied for minor study permit. Looking forward to her approval soon.

Has anyone had a similar experience? If so, were you able to get a study permit for your minor child? Please advise.
