Intra Company Transfer - Study Permits needed for Minor?

10 years ago

Hi There,

We are in need of help, my partner and I have been offered positions in Canada under a Intra company transfer. For the purpose of immigration, our Canadian employers suggested it would be easier to put the whole application through on my partner. So my partner is going through on the transfer and I have applied for the open work permit along side.

But we are having a lot of problems with the CIC website. Its requesting a lot more information than what we were originally informed we would need, however, the whole application is now complete, except the study permits for my two boys.

They are 13 and 7, I have been informed, we have checked with a visa agency in UK and I have seen it actually on the CIC website that study permits are not required for such ages. We even called a lady on the Hamilton school board and she too couldn't believe it.

So can anyone please advise how we get around this. The fact is that the boys will not be attending school until Sept and we don't even know where we will be living yet, let alone what school they will be attending or the costs incurred.

We are supposed to be there next month so any advise provided would be very much appreciated because we are at a loss.

Regards
