Am currently in this situation, am an international student in Canada when I came into Canada I told my immigration consultant I want to apply for my kids to come join me in Canada I specifically told her study visa for my kids who are 4years and 2years old respectively and she said they were not up to the age of going to school and advised that we apply for visitor visa which was approved. when they came into Canada she claimed that she will then apply for study permit and visitor record for my minor who will turn 5 by November 2025 we put in an application for her, on August 26 IRCC requested for LOA or confirmation of enrollment from the educational institution for my minor which should be provided on or before 2 September I won’t be able to provide that due to the timeframe. Please I need advice on what to do.
minor study permit application -LOA or COE requested
- Thread starter France1
- Start date
Have you spoken to your local school/school board? Depending on the location they will require different documentation to register your child for kindergarten.
Have spoken to them I was told to register online and book an in-person interview which is scheduled for 4th of September that’s the next available date just that am required to provide the LOA or COE before 2 September I sent a web form to IRCC explaining the situation to them don’t know if the extension of 2weeks I requested will be granted.
I am kinda on this situation but mine, i have applied for PGWP waiting for response then apply for my kids, but i wanted to find out if i should apply for study permit direct or apply for visitor visa when they get here before i apply for study permits for them
Thanks for your response. Have been able to register my child at the newcomer welcome Centre( Vancouver school board) and I was given a registration confirmation letter and was told the catchment school will contact me for assessment I don’t know if I can upload the letter in place of the confirmation of enrollment the IRCC requested for, for the processing of my minor study permit
You can just indicate they will attend local public school but you can certainly include this letter.
If 4 over older apply for study permit from their home country. Not sure why you didn’t apply with PGWP and proof of employment.
...Because i wasnt sure the options, i wanted to get my visa approve first then file for them immediately.
Thank you so much for your guidance my kids study permit has been approved
