Study permit extension for minors already in Canada

[iamelle]

Hello everyone!

Me and my husband's work permits have recently been extended. My kids' study permits are expiring soon since those were based on our initial work permit. Do we still have to renew their study permits so they can continue their studies? Or temporary resident visa is enough? They are in elementary and high school levels.

Thanks in advance

Exceptions: Studying without a study permit

In some cases, minor children do not need a study permit to study in Canada. These cases include:

minor children attending kindergarten;
minor children who are refugees or refugee claimants, or whose parents are refugees or refugee claimants; and
minor children who are already in Canada with parents who are allowed to work or study in Canada, and who want to attend pre-school, primary or secondary school.

When minor children studying in Canada without a permit reach the age of majority (turn 18 or 19 depending on the province or territory), they must apply for a permit if they want to continue studying

^ Thanks a lot! That's what I read too. So we just have to apply for TRV for the whole family.
