携配偶及子女留学加拿大 International Students: Bringing your Spouse and Family to Canada
有意将加拿大作为留学目的地的已婚和/或有受抚养子女的外国公民，留学期间可以将上述家庭成员作为随行人员带至加拿大。签证官会考虑有随行家庭成员的学习许可申请，携带家庭成员可能会影响签证官的批复决定。
Foreign nationals interested in studying in Canada who are married and/or have dependent children may wish to bring these family members with them to Canada during their study program. Canadian visa officers will consider study permit applications which include accompanying family members, but including family members on a study permit application may influence the visa officer’s decision.
加拿大学习许可属于临时居住许可，意味着许可持有人必须让签证官确信其在许可到期后会从加拿大离境。某些情况下，如果申请人要求携带全家一起来加拿大，签证官可能会怀疑申请人能否如期离境。这可能会影响签证官的批签决定。所有学习许可申请人都需要提交学习计划，解释他们希望在加拿大接受教育的原因。申请人可以通过学习计划解释为什么他们希望配偶和/或孩子陪伴前往加拿大。签证官有权行使独立裁量权批复学习许可。
申请人可以在最初不将家庭成员囊括在学习许可的申请中，之后再提交修改申请要求携带加拿大成员共同前往加拿大。需要特别注意的是，如果申请人没有遵循正确的申请流程，以上述方式申请修改可能会被判定为虚假陈述，导致申请人五年内不准入境加拿大。申请人必须证明有足够的经济能力支持其第一年的留学开支。希望家庭成员陪同的申请人需要提供额外的材料，证明其有能力支持家庭成员的必要开支。希望有配偶或子女陪同的国际留学生需要了解将对其住房及健康保险等方面的影响。
Canadian study permits are temporary resident permits, meaning that the holder of a study permit must satisfy the visa officer that they will leave Canada when their permit expires. In some cases, if a student requests to bring their whole family with them to Canada, the visa officer might suspect that the student doesn’t really have the intention to leave Canada after their study program. This can affect the visa officer’s decision on whether or not to issue the study permit.
All study permit applicants are asked to submit a statement explaining why they want to pursue education in Canada. The applicant may use this section of the application to explain why they wish to have their spouse and/or children accompany them to Canada. The final decision on study permit approval is at the discretion of the immigration officer. Please note that it is possible for a person to apply for a study permit without their family members, but to later submit an amended application requesting authorization for family members to join them in Canada.
However, applying to amend an application in this way can result in misrepresentation, including a five-year ban from Canada, if the applicant does not follow the correct procedures. Applicants must demonstrate sufficient financial resources to support themselves during their first year of study. Those who wish for their family members to accompany should be prepared to demonstrate additional funds to support their family. If an international student is accompanied by their spouse and/or dependent children, they should be aware of how this will affect their housing and health insurance needs.
携配偶留学 Bring Your Spouse
外国公民可以将配偶囊括在其学习许可申请中，携配偶申请可能会对批复结果产生影响。如果外国公民获批可以在留学期间携配偶入境加拿大，其配偶有资格申请配偶开放式工作许可。该许可授权配偶可以在与主申请人学习许可时长相同的有效期内，于加拿大境内任何地方为任何雇主全职工作。如双方都希望在加拿大就学，则必须各自递交学习许可申请。
A foreign national is welcome to include their spouse on their application for a Canadian study permit, keeping in mind the above-mentioned impacts this may have on the approval of the study permit. If a foreign national is approved for a study permit in Canada with their spouse accompanying, then the spouse will be eligible to apply for a spousal open work permit. This work permit will authorize the spouse to work full-time for any employer in Canada for the same period as their partner’s study permit. If both partners are interested in pursuing studies in Canada, they each must apply for separate study permits.
携子女留学 Bring Your Dependent Children
外国公民可以将受抚养子女囊括在其学习许可申请中，携子女申请可能会对批复结果产生影响。如果外国公民获批可以在留学期间携受抚养子女入境加拿大，其子女会获发签证，签证有效期将于主申请人的学习许可时长相同。学习或工作许可持有人的子女，可以在加拿大公立教育体系中免费接受学前、小学及中学教育。
加拿大移民当局针对「受抚养子女」的定义为，22周岁以下没有配偶或同居伴侣的个人。如果年满22周岁但由于身体或精神原因无法经济独立赡养自己，则仍可被认定为受抚养子女。
A foreign national is welcome to include dependent children on their application for a Canadian study permit, keeping in mind the above-mentioned impacts this may have on the approval of the study permit. If a foreign national is approved for a study permit in Canada with their dependent child accompanying, then the child will be issued a visa authorizing their stay in Canada for the same period as the primary applicant’s permit. All minor children are entitled to pursue education at the pre-school, primary, or secondary level of study provided one of their parents is authorized to work or study in Canada.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada defines ‘dependent child’ as a person under the age of 22 years old without a spouse or partner. A person over 22 years old may still be considered a dependent if they are unable to financially support themselves due to a mental or physical condition.
