Visa Rejected for my two daughters

[EsterO]

My wife, my 7-year-old daughter and I have been in Canada since Feb 09, 2022. Our other two daughters were left in my country. We processed them and got rejected a month ago. The visa officer's letter states that they could not verify the parents' status in Canada. We did provide a copy of the work permit, SIN etc.
My education consultant did not submit the passport copy of me and my wife, a copy of the visa stamped on the passport, an enrolment letter from my college and an employment letter from my wife's employer. Was this the reason the visa got rejected?

Kindly advise me on how to proceed further, as I am submitting by myself this time.

This is simple, reapply linking your children's application to yours and including your status documents and a letter indicating that you will be travelling to get your children. They are minors and thus the VO will not approve their application without explicit linkage to their parents. A friend got here with same issue, mentioned to link her application to her kids, she did and they got the visa within 2months.

Not quite that simple. All children need to apply for study permits. !any VOs are not accepting TRVs of over 4. The father needs to show that he is enrolled in school full-time and can include the mother’s OWP and employment record. I fear that proof of funds will not be enough. There seems to be no mention of additional savings just a loan. IRCC usually wants to see additional savings to provide for all the children. In general IRCC wants to see savings whethher personal or from extended family to cover tuition and living expenses and not a loan. You usually also have to show that you have at least 6 months left in your permit to get a permit for your dependents so that may also be a stumbling block. It may also not be ideal for children to change schools in around March to April if they get approval at that point.

Agreed on proof of funds and ensuring you have enough before applying. But kids don't need to apply for study permit as long as a parent is a student. I'm a student my kids age 12 and 10 came in with visitor's visa and were given visitor record with which they were admitted in school right away in March till date.

No longer the case. Most VOs are now requiring that you apply for a study permit if your child is over 4.

That actually changed a while ago (earlier this year, I think?). They need to apply for study permits before entering Canada now if they are accompanying a parent who is coming on a work permit or their own study permit. You can see the new rules below.

Got in with my kids March 10th had friend come in around April, we all got visitor record given for our kids at the port of entry. With IRCC things keep changing.

Yes, I want to process a study permit for both of them. I have even already submitted the loan sanctioned by my bank of CAD33000. So I don't think the refusal is to do anything with funds.

Hello,
I have a question related to spouse open work permit “proof of funds”.
While applying through GCkey account, I can’t see any section specifically for “proof of funds”.
Does that mean I should include the proof of funds under client information (SOP)?
Need urgent reply please.
