How does the process work if I want to go with my family after masters or within six months to one year in UK/Canada for a Master's/Postgraduate?

Yes, you can bring your family to Canada or the UK after your master's, but the process and eligibility depend on your situation and each country’s current rules.

- Canada: Your spouse and dependent children can usually join you as temporary residents if you meet financial requirements. Your spouse may be eligible for an open work permit, and children can attend school. Applications can be made before or after your arrival, but applying together is often simpler.

- UK: Only certain students - typically those in full-time postgraduate research programs or government-sponsored courses of at least 6 months - can bring dependants (spouse/partner, children under 18). Financial proof is required. Dependants can usually work full-time.

Visa rules and requirements are subject to change.
