Study permit for a child.
My partner will be going to Canada via IEC and I, either a visiter or my own IEC.
This means our 6 year old will need a study permit to attend school.
From what I gather, we need an acceptance letter from a school to be able to apply for one, but does this have to be a private school or could it be a state school?
What I'm really trying to establish is whether we need to pay for his education.
Thanks amy

Re: Study permit for a child.
Was that from an IEC?
It states that no dependants can obtain a visa/status off the back of the IEC, so yes my partner will be working, but it's on a work permit via the IEC.
I know dependants of people on a TWP can attend state school, but with the IEC I'm not sure it works that way.
There doesn't seem to be much info on this out there as it probably doesn't happen that often.
Hope this makes some sense

Yes this was all on IEC. I believe that the actual permit you get stapled in your passport is no different to any other TWP, so the school board doesn't care either way (or at least they didn't in our case).
We did a lot of research on this before we left. So long as you are from a visa exempt country then there should be no issue getting the visitor record at the border which will allow your daughter to attend school.

Re: Study permit for a child.
Bc2015...just wondering how your child found the transition into a canadian school?
Out of everything we will be leaving behind and changing, this seems to be the biggest worry I have
Thanks
