My wife has just recieved a study permit and she will be travelling to canada in August to begin her classes that starts in fall. We have two children ( 2 and five). I am planning once shes gone to apply for a TRV in december for the chrismas break. Will applying in december be too soon to convince the VO to provide us with visitors visa since we did not apply together with her study permit due to lack of enough funds as proof of funds for our entire familly?. I guess by december my bank account will have recoup enough to apply for the remainning three of us on visiting visa. Since I have a good job here I intend to leave the children behind and come back and help them financially from here.....I dont want a rejection of visitor visa on my record, so how soon is it to appy for visiting after shes left for canada, she will be going on a two year study permit visa. Any suggestion or advice from the veterans of this process?
