Work Visa to Canada: Can I bring my children with me?
If you are going to work in Canada and want to take your children with you to receive benefits, we recommend that you read our article and think twice. We talked about the risks and problems associated with this "venture.
There are two popular ways to go to Canada: immigration and temporary work. The latter, by the way, makes it possible to immigrate in the future. And while with immigration everything is clear, since all family members immigrate together, those who go for temporary work wonder, "Can I take my children with me and receive child benefits in Canada?"
In theory, everything looks very bright: a person who has received a work permit in Canada can take his child with him, all he has to do is to prepare some documents. But if you "dig" deeper into this question, it becomes clear that traveling to work in Canada with children is not an easy task. Everything becomes even more difficult if the person with a work permit is a single parent.
Before we tell you what documents you need to prepare to take your child to Canada, we want to warn you about all the risks and problems associated with this "undertaking.
