Canadian visas for student dependents
If your spouse or child under 18 needs to accompany you to Canada during your studies, they can also apply for a visa.

This permission does not require them to have a job before entering Canada; it merely allows them to work while in the nation. If you have a child accompanying you to Canada during your studies, the youngster may come as a visitor as long as you can provide evidence of your study program and permission.

You should gather certain documents for your visa application. Your financial situation will play a significant rule in determining whether or not you are granted a study visa. The Canadian government must be able to verify that you can support yourself during your studies, either through savings or a sponsor such as a parent.
