A school acceptance letter or study permit for your child does not automatically give you permission to enter Canada, remain for the school year or work.<\/p><p>For many parents, the starting point is a temporary visit. The right documents depend on your nationality, how you will travel and what you intend to do during your stay.<\/p><h2>Quick Answer<\/h2><p>A parent can apply to visit Canada while their child studies there, but must meet the requirements for their own entry and stay.<\/p><p>Depending on your circumstances, you may need a visitor visa or electronic travel authorisation, known as an eTA. Some travellers are exempt from both.<\/p><p>Your child\u2019s study permit does not give you an automatic open work permit or a matching period of stay. If you want to work or undertake studies requiring a permit, you must qualify separately.<\/p><h2>Why This Matters<\/h2><p>A child\u2019s school timetable and a parent\u2019s immigration permission may cover different periods.<\/p><p>For example, your child might have a place for a full academic year while you receive permission to visit for a shorter period. You need a practical plan for that difference.<\/p><p>Before making arrangements, consider:<\/p><ul><li>How long you hope to stay.<\/li><li>How you will pay for accommodation and daily expenses.<\/li><li>Whether you intend to work or study yourself.<\/li><li>Who will care for your child if you leave earlier.<\/li><li>What commitments you have outside Canada.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Planning these details together can help you avoid rushed decisions once school begins.<\/p><h2>Accompanying a Child: Which Entry Documents Might You Need?<\/h2><h3>A Visitor Visa<\/h3><p>A visitor visa, also called a temporary resident visa, allows a visa-required traveller to travel to Canada and seek entry.<\/p><p>If you need one, explain that your purpose is to accompany your child during their studies. Provide the documents requested for your circumstances.<\/p><p>Visa approval does not guarantee admission. A border services officer assesses your entry when you arrive.<\/p><h3>An Electronic Travel Authorisation<\/h3><p>An eTA allows eligible travellers to fly to Canada. Eligibility depends on factors including nationality and, for some travellers, additional conditions.<\/p><p>An eTA is linked to the passport used in the application. It does not give you permission to work or remain for the entire duration of your child\u2019s studies.<\/p><h3>Travel Without a Visa or eTA<\/h3><p>Some travellers do not need either document. Your nationality, immigration status and method of travel affect the requirements.<\/p><p>Use the official entry-document checker before applying. Do not assume that another parent\u2019s travel arrangements also apply to you.<\/p><h2>Is There a Special Visa for Accompanying a Child?<\/h2><p>Do not treat descriptions such as \u201cparent accompanying a student\u201d as a separate visa category with automatic rights.<\/p><p>Your application must fit an available immigration route. A parent visiting to support a child normally needs to satisfy the relevant temporary-entry requirements.<\/p><p>The relationship explains the purpose of the visit, but does not replace the eligibility assessment.<\/p><p>Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadagmc.com\/minor-child-study-permit\/\"><strong>study permission for your child<\/strong><\/a> separately. Each family member needs the correct arrangements for their own circumstances.<\/p><h2>Accompanying a Child: Visitor Application Requirements<\/h2><p>IRCC assesses whether you meet the visitor requirements, including whether you have sufficient funds and will leave when your authorised stay ends.<\/p><p>Explain your plans clearly:<\/p><ul><li>Why your child will study in Canada.<\/li><li>Why you intend to accompany them.<\/li><li>The dates you are requesting.<\/li><li>Where you will stay.<\/li><li>How you will cover the costs.<\/li><li>What you plan to do when your authorised visit ends.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Be accurate about your circumstances. If your intention is to stay for a school term, do not describe the trip as a short holiday.<\/p><p>A longer proposed visit also needs a credible budget. Consider accommodation, food, transportation and other living costs alongside school expenses.<\/p><h2>What Documents Help When Accompanying a Child?<\/h2><p>Your personalised checklist determines what you must submit. Depending on the application, useful evidence may include:<\/p><ul><li>Your passport and relevant travel history.<\/li><li>Your child\u2019s birth certificate or other relationship evidence.<\/li><li>The child\u2019s school acceptance letter and study permit or approval, if available.<\/li><li>Bank statements and evidence explaining the source of funds.<\/li><li>Accommodation details.<\/li><li>Evidence of employment, family responsibilities, property or other relevant commitments outside Canada.<\/li><li>Consent or custody documents, where applicable.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadagmc.com\/letter-of-explanation-canada-immigration\/\"><strong>letter of explanation<\/strong><\/a> can connect these documents with your proposed visit.<\/p><p>For example, a parent planning to accompany a child for the first school term could explain the term dates, accommodation arrangements, available funding and intended departure.<\/p><p>Keep the details consistent across the application. If someone else will pay, explain their relationship to you and provide evidence of that support.<\/p><h2>Can You Work While Accompanying a Child in Canada?<\/h2><p>Accompanying a child does not itself authorise employment.<\/p><p>A visitor visa or eTA does not give you the right to work. Most people need a work permit unless a specific exemption applies.<\/p><p>If employment is part of your plan, assess your eligibility before relying on Canadian earnings to fund the visit. Your child\u2019s study permit does not automatically make you eligible for a parent open work permit.<\/p><p>Also check where you are eligible to submit any work permit application. Entering as a visitor does not mean every work permit route becomes available from inside Canada.<\/p><h2>How Long Can You Stay When Accompanying a Child?<\/h2><p>Most visitors can stay for up to six months, although a border officer may authorise a shorter or longer visit.<\/p><p>Check the entry conditions and any visitor record issued to you. Your child\u2019s permit expiry date does not determine your own deadline.<\/p><p>A visitor visa valid for several years is also different from permission to remain continuously for those years.<\/p><p>Keep a separate record of each family member\u2019s immigration expiry dates. Do not use the school calendar as your immigration calendar.<\/p><h2>Extending Your Stay While Accompanying a Child<\/h2><p>If you need more time, apply before your visitor status expires. Your child\u2019s continued enrolment can explain the request, but does not guarantee approval.<\/p><p>Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadagmc.com\/visitor-record-canada\/\"><strong>extending your visitor stay<\/strong><\/a> covers deadlines, supporting evidence and the application process.<\/p><h2>What If Only One Parent Travels With the Child?<\/h2><p>Check the consent and custody requirements for the child\u2019s application and travel. You may need permission from the non-accompanying parent or legal documents showing your decision-making authority.<\/p><p>Prepare the evidence relevant to your family\u2019s circumstances before applying and travelling.<\/p><h2>What Happens If You Leave Before Your Child?<\/h2><p>If you will leave while your child remains in Canada, confirm suitable care arrangements before departure. Review whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadagmc.com\/custodianship-declaration\/\"><strong>appointing a custodian<\/strong><\/a> is required, and tell the school about any changes to the child\u2019s care and emergency contacts.<\/p><h2>What Should You Arrange With the School?<\/h2><p>Ask the school about enrolment dates, tuition, attendance expectations and parent communication.<\/p><p>Also confirm who can collect the child, who the emergency contacts will be and what information the school needs if care arrangements change.<\/p><p>Understanding the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadagmc.com\/unlocking-success-canadian-school-system-revealed\/\"><strong>Canadian school system<\/strong><\/a> helps with practical planning. However, the school cannot guarantee your visa approval or the length of your stay.<\/p><h2>Accompanying a Child: Application Fees and Costs<\/h2><p>Standard IRCC fees checked in November 2026 include:<\/p><ul><li>Visitor visa: CAD 100 per person.<\/li><li>eTA: CAD 7.<\/li><li>Biometrics, if required: CAD 85 per individual.<\/li><li>Visitor extension: CAD 100 per person.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>You do not normally apply for both a visitor visa and an eTA for the same trip. Check which document you need.<\/p><p>These fees are separate from your child\u2019s application fees, tuition and living expenses. Additional costs may include medical examinations, translations and document certification.<\/p><p>Processing times vary. Check the current estimate for your application rather than assuming it will be decided alongside your child\u2019s permit.<\/p><h2>Common Mistakes When Accompanying a Child<\/h2><ul><li>Assuming the child\u2019s study permit covers the parent.<\/li><li>Requesting a short visit while describing plans to remain for the full school year.<\/li><li>Relying on work you are not authorised to do.<\/li><li>Confusing visa validity with the permitted length of stay.<\/li><li>Underestimating the cost of supporting both parent and child.<\/li><li>Overlooking consent documents when only one parent travels.<\/li><li>Leaving without arranging appropriate care for the child.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>A realistic plan should account for the possibility that your authorised stay is shorter than requested.<\/p><h2>Where to Go Next<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadagmc.com\/minor-child-study-permit\/\"><strong>Minor Child Study Permit: When Is One Required?<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadagmc.com\/custodianship-declaration\/\"><strong>Custodianship Declaration: A Guide to IMM 5646<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadagmc.com\/visitor-record-canada\/\"><strong>Visitor Record in Canada: How Do You Extend Your Stay?<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadagmc.com\/letter-of-explanation-canada-immigration\/\"><strong>How to Write a Letter of Explanation for Canada Immigration<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16ab169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"16ab169\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>FAQs<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1988f5b elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"1988f5b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2671\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2671\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Can Both Parents Accompany a Child Studying in Canada?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2671\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2671\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both parents can seek permission to visit, but each must meet the applicable requirements.
