Accompanying My Sppouse to Canada
by: Sharon - Expats Guide

Hi Joshua

Thanks for you inquiry

Please note that I am not an immigration officer. However I found out the following information:

According to the High Commission of Canada in India

"If you proceed to Canada alone, it is possible that your dependants will not be able to join you there. If you wish your spouse and / or child to accompany you to Canada or to join you at a later date, you must provide proof that you will be able to support them.

Since funding provided by Canadian institutions or governmental organizations is normally sufficient for one person only, you will likely be required to provide proof of additional funding and/ or savings. Your dependants will also be required to demonstrate to a visa officer that they have sufficient ties to India to ensure their departure from Canada."

Important Tip: You and your family might not be eligible for health care in Canada, therefore make sure to consult your university and/or to research international health insurance possibilities

You can start by consulting the following expatriates health insurance companies:

Global Medical Insurance.

MultiNational Underwriters .

Good Luck
Sharon
