Children under the age of 18-19 are considered to be minors in Canada. Minor children of the student who is already in Canada and “accompanying a parent who is permitted to study or work”, may study in Canada without a study permit at the preschool, primary, and secondary levels”.

If an international student is intending to bring his/her school-age children to study at a Canadian school he/she must apply for a study permit for his/her children before entering Canada. “Minor children who are accompanying a family member who has applied and been approved for a work or study permit before entering Canada do not need to provide a letter of acceptance from an educational institution” Learn more about Studying in Canada as a minor.

If a student is already in Canada with his/her minor children (dependents) who are on visitor records or visa (stamp in their passport), the children do not require a study permit for the pre-school, primary, or secondary level.

Important: If the parent loses status (no longer a full-time student) their children and spouse automatically lose their status. Children of international students at who are attending college or university (19 or older) must have a Study Permit and pay international tuition fees.

As long as one parent holds valid status in Canada e.g. study/work permit, permanent resident, or Canadian citizen, their children are permitted to study at the preschool, primary, or secondary school levels without paying international fees.

Record numbers of international students arrived in the GTA to attend the September 2022 and January 2023 sessions. Perhaps they had no previous idea about so many international students gathering at a time in the GTA. A large number of international students are unable to find a few hours of part-time work. Employers in the GTA could help them by providing a few hours of weekly temporary jobs. Everyone, please offer your possible helping hand towards them. Future international students willing to study in Canada should also consider institutes in other cities outside of the GTA.
