Help Your Child Start Their Studies in Canada with G Square Immigration

Planning to send your child to Canada for education? Studying in Canada as a minor involves additional requirements related to admission, study permits, accommodation, and parental or custodial arrangements.

At G Square Immigration, we help parents understand the process and prepare the required documentation for their child’s study permit application. Our goal is to make the application process clear, organized, and easier for families.

What Is a Minor Study Visa?

A Minor Study Visa refers to the process of obtaining a Canadian study permit for a child who is under the age of majority in the province or territory where they will study. Depending on the child’s age, school, living arrangements, and individual circumstances, additional documents or arrangements may be required before the child can study in Canada.

When Does a Minor Need a Study Permit?

Your Child Plans to Study in Canada

If your child intends to study in Canada as an international student, a study permit may be required depending on the length and circumstances of their studies.

Your Child Is a Minor

Children under the age of majority may have additional requirements related to their care, accommodation, and responsible adult arrangements in Canada.

Your Child Will Attend a Canadian School

If your child has received admission from a Canadian school and plans to study as an international student, the appropriate immigration documentation needs to be prepared.

Your Child Will Live Without Their Parents in Canada

If the child will live in Canada without one or both parents, arrangements such as a custodian may be required depending on their circumstances.
