Study Notes
Applying for Study Permits as a Minor
- Minor children who want to study in Canada should apply for a study permit from outside Canada, even if they are accompanying a parent who has a worker or student status.
- Visa offices should consider minor children as students, not visitors, when processing temporary residence applications.
Applying from Overseas
- Minor children should apply for a study permit from outside Canada.
- They should not be considered as visitors, even if they are accompanying a parent with a worker or student status.
Applying at a Port of Entry (POE)

General Requirements
- Minor children of temporary residents (visitors) who are not authorized to work or study require a study permit to study in Canada.
- Minor children already in Canada can study without a study permit at the pre-school, primary, or secondary level if at least one parent is authorized to work or study in Canada.
- Minor children can also study without a study permit pursuant to R188(c) if their course or program of study is less than six months.
- Dependent children intending to study in Canada and who are accompanying a parent who will visit, work, or study in Canada must complete their own IMM 1294 application form.
