I am trying to apply for a study permit online. I have a dependent child.
As per the suggestions, I should apply for myself and my family members at the same time.
So, I have a 12-years old daughter and I am trying to fill a form for her.
She'll be studying there, so I am confused of what type of visa should I apply for her.
1- If I choose study-more than 6 months, I am asked to provide a letter of acceptance as a mandatory document. Which is obviously I do not have.
2- If I choose Visit-All other types, I read online that this might cause her application get rejected.

What should I choose from the list?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I am in the same state as you were 2 yrs back. Could you please guide how you did your daughter's study permit?
My daughter is 10yrs old.

Hi, I applied for my 3yo kid as an Extended Visitor. From what I've learned on CIC page;

Minor children who are already in Canada may study without a study permit if they:
  • are in kindergarten, no matter what their parents’ status is in Canada
  • want to go to pre-school, primary or secondary school and have a parent who is allowed to work or study in Canada
  • are refugees or refugee claimants
  • have parents who are refugees or refugee claimants
  • came to Canada as a visitor for a course or program of studies of six months or less
  • will study in a course or program of six months or less
  • are in Canada by themselves
Minors who don’t have a study permit need a valid visitor status during their stay in Canada.
