If you want to bring your family to Canada while you study, there are several factors you must consider to do it properly. Getting the right information is critical to successfully navigate the complex immigration and financial requirements. Here are sources of information for you:
Immigration Consultants or Lawyers
Immigration Consultants – Consider consulting with Canadian licensed immigration consultants or legal professionals specializing in international student matters. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation. Visit https://college-ic.ca/ and look for a licensed Canadian Immigration consultant.
Education Placement Agency
Agencies like GBE can provide crucial information. However, ensure that the agency “has” already assisted families and students before. Ask for references.
Educational Institutions
International Student Offices – Contact the international student offices at the educational institutions you are considering. They can provide information on family support services, housing options, and potential challenges.
Canadian Immigration Authorities
Immigration Websites – Explore official immigration websites such as the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website for up-to-date information on visas, work permits, and family sponsorship.
(Please note, we highly recommend to talk to a GBE Education Advisor to discuss the programs you’re interested in so that you can be provided with the right information. You can book a free consultation here: Book now!
Financial Planning Resources
Financial Aid Offices – Speak with the financial aid offices at prospective universities to understand the financial support available for international students and their families.
Budgeting Tools – Utilize online budgeting tools to estimate living expenses and create a realistic budget that considers family needs.
Expat and Student Communities
Online Forums – Join online forums and communities where international students and expats share their experiences. This can provide insights into the challenges and benefits of bringing family members to Canada.
The decision to bring your spouse and dependents when coming to Canada as an international student is multifaceted, requiring careful consideration of personal, academic, and financial factors.
By tapping into various sources of information, including educational institutions, immigration authorities, and community experiences, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your goals and the well-being of your family.
