Study Permits for a Couple

[usman.ahmad3]

Hello,

I have been admitted to Dalhousie University for a Doctoral Degree on Scholarship.Soon I will be receiving my offer letter.
My wife has applied to University of Western Ontario to MA program (funded program) and we hope that she will get admission there.

We are planning to submit two separate applications for study permits for both of us.But i just heard that two family members can not go together on study permit or there lies a chance of rejection of both applications.Is this true?

I need guidance regarding this issue.


Regards.

It is and it is not. All depends what kind of personal ties (except parents) you have in home country to let CIC believe you BOTH will never ever try to stay in Canada illegally if you are not able to get PGWP. That your establishment in home country is so good that you never prefer an illegal stay in Canada to your life in your home country.

What happens if i put my application first for study permit and after a month or so my wife applies for her study permit?

 

[Regina]

She will not get her SP.

 

[usman.ahmad3]

due to weak family ties?
then should we go for study permit + TRV for spouse?

Don't speak as if you are a Visa Officer and know the answer definitively because you don't.

Couples come to Canada together all the time, on work permits or study permits. It will not be an automatic refusal for your wife's study permit if you have already received your study permit. You will both need to show strong ties to your home country, as you would when applying for any form of temporary residence, including visitor.

Neither are you. So keep your advices to yourself.

And READ the question. If they apply TOGETHER they could get SP or SP+TVP and so on. If he applies first and she later their is no guarantee she will get any visa. Especially SP.

It is "advice", not "advices". Keeping my advice to myself defeats the purpose of this forum. I am here to help people by providing correct advice, as are the others who help on this forum.

The OP asked a question and you stated "She will not get her SP", as if you know with 100% assurance, which you don't. This is what I mean when I say you are harming people by providing incorrect advice. You've told him definitively that his wife won't get a student permit if he applies first; that is not true, it is only your opinion and you should preface your statement by saying so.

And READ the question. If they apply TOGETHER they could get SP or SP+TVP and so on. If he applies first and she later their is no guarantee she will get any visa. Especially SP.

I read the original question, before you muddled everything up; you should try reading it again. OP stated

"We are planning to submit two separate applications for study permits for both of us.But i just heard that two family members can not go together on study permit or there lies a chance of rejection of both applications.Is this true?"

OP did not ask at all about applying TOGETHER, he asked about applying SEPARATELY and then going to Canada together.

There is never a guarantee of getting a visa. They should apply for their individual study permits first. Provided they both meet the requirements, they have a good chance of each getting their study permit.

yes u can apply together/saperately but u need good ties to home country..and funds for both of ur education plus both living expenses. U will also need to select proper courses that match ur previous education and all the basic documents as per study permit requirement.......even if u apply separately u will need the same things...i dont think it will matter much.

Sir you got it right.We are planning to apply for our study permits separately. I will be applying first and after a month or so my wife will apply for her study permit.Two different applications will be submitted with a time gap.
i just wanted to know that would it harm us or not.
.
those who say that home ties will affect this case then i wonder how people get TRV for spouse (situations are same in both cases either Sp + SP or Sp + TRV)

yes, i will have to show strong home ties.M not worried about my finances.
and i request you seniors to calm down plz.

I got it. Thank you very much
