Family and Dependents Support
Family and Dependents Support
Planning to study abroad with your spouse or children? We help your whole family plan the move.
Study Abroad Together
Studying abroad is a big step, and it is even bigger when your family is coming with you. Our family and dependents support helps you plan for everyone, not just the student.
Depending on the program and the rules of your study country, spouses and children may be able to join you, and some may be eligible to work or study. First, we look at your situation. Then, we explain the options that may apply. Finally, we help you get organized for the move.
Family Planning Session
We talk through who is coming, when, and what each family member may need before you apply.
Document Checklists
We help you list the documents for each family member, such as passports and proof of relationship.
Schools for Children
We share information about local schools and enrollment steps for your children.
Settling In
We point you to helpful resources for housing, health coverage and settling into your new community.
How Our Family Support Works
1. Free guidance call
We start with a free conversation about your study plans and your family.
2. Your family plan
Next, we outline the options that may apply to your spouse and children.
3. Checklists for everyone
After that, we prepare a document checklist for each family member.
4. Arrive together
Finally, we help you plan your timeline so your family can settle in smoothly.
Family eligibility rules are set by each government and change often. Always check the latest information on the official website for your study country, such as Study in Canada (canada.ca). Where you need formal immigration representation, we will point you to a licensed immigration professional.
Family and Dependents Support FAQ
Can my spouse work while I study?
In some countries and programs, spouses may be eligible for a work permit. The rules depend on your program and your study country, so we help you check what applies to your family.
Can my children go to school?
In many cases, children who come with an international student can attend local schools. We help you find out what is needed to enroll them.
Should my family apply at the same time as me?
Often it is easier to apply together, but it depends on your situation. We help you decide on a timeline that works for your family.
Do you also help with my student visa?
Yes. See our Student Visa Help page to learn how we help you prepare your own application.
