Subject: Application for Spouse Open Work Permit & Study Permit for Children

Respected Sir/Madam,

I, NAME HERE (Passport# XXXXXXX, UCI # XXXXXXXX), am currently enrolled in a full-time Master of Management program (student id XXXXX) at the XXXXXXX University located in XXXX, British Columbia (DLI # OXXXXXXXX). My Study Permit/Visa was approved on DATE HERE and is valid until DATE HERE, however, due to the COVID-19 situation and travel restriction; I am unable to travel at this time. My program delivery model has also moved from in-class to online, hence currently studying virtually from home, in India. My enrolment for the XXXX program is confirmed and the session/online classes have started from DATE.

The current situation (due to the Pandemic) is fluid, uncertain and evolving every day. Under the current circumstances, I am really scared to travel/stay alone whenever I move to Canada to continue my in-class program. Experts across the globe claim that the current situation will become the new normal for a long time; hence in a situation like this, I will need emotional as well as physical support, and who would be better than my family. Therefore, I am submitting this application jointly with my Spouse, NAME HERE (Passport# XXXXXXX), for:

  1. Spouse Open Work Permit: NAME
  2. Study Permit for dependent Daughter: NAME
  3. Study Permit for dependent Son: NAME  

Attached with the online application: IMM5713E – Family Member Representative Form
