In this webinar\, we will analyze the different options available in the legislation for dependents of international students\, the challenges they face and how to determine which option is best for whom. We will look at who is eligible to apply for a C42 and the options for those who are not. \nWe will discuss which documents and what information should be included in a template application and how to adapt this template to the personal circumstances of each individual/family. Through several ATIPs and Jurisprudence cases\, we will try to determine where Visa Officers focus their attention while reviewing these applications and how this can guide the advice we can provide to our students. We will also discuss the procedure for extending the stay during the main applicant’s studies and after graduation as well as the options for a spouse of a graduate to come to Canada for the first time after the main applicant has graduated. Finally\, we will briefly review the options available for applicants after one or many refusals. \nImportant note: The content of this presentation is an updated version of the workshop of the same name offered at the CBIE 2023 Conference in Vancouver.
