Hi all,

I have applied under CEC and received my AOR in early Jan 2011. I lost my job in Nov 2010 and my work permit is also expiring soon (in about 8-10 days).

I plan to go across the border to nearest Canadian consulate in USA to get visitor's visa for us. My questions is: do we need to get study permit for my son who is in high-school (9th grade)? As I understand, he cannot attend school while on visitor status.

I will appreciate any advise on: weather it is illegal if kids continue to attend high school on visitor status (change of status from worker to visitor).

Has anyone been in similar situation? Any advice / suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.
