How does having a dependent visa affect my study plans and visa application in Canada?
Bringing dependents - such as your spouse or children - on a dependent visa will increase the financial requirements and add steps to your Canada study permit application.
- Financial proof: You must show higher funds: tuition plus at least $22,895 CAD for yourself, plus about $5,500 CAD for each dependent. These amounts are typical and subject to change.
- Application process: It's best to apply for your study permit and your dependents' visas together to streamline processing.
- Dependent rights: Your spouse may be eligible for an open work permit, and children can usually attend school with a study permit.
- Visa conditions: Both your permit and your dependents’ visas will have specific rules about length of stay and permitted activities.
