Study Permit Sponsor
The Study Permit Sponsor Program enables international students to bring their family members to Canada during their studies. However, they must demonstrate to the visa officer that they intend to return to their home country once their studies are completed. International students may also submit a letter explaining the reasons for wanting their family members to accompany them. If family members are included, the sponsor must provide proof of additional funds to support their living expenses in Canada. This includes documentation showing sufficient resources for housing, food, and other necessities. In some cases, spouses of students may be eligible to apply for an open work permit, allowing them to work in Canada during the student’s program. Dependent children may also be able to enroll in Canadian schools without needing a separate study permit.
