I'm assuming here you mean to enroll in a Masters in Canada and come here alone in the beginning and bring your family later?
It's not a bad plan and I've seen many cases like this. After graduation you will be eligible to apply for PGWP, and after using up the 2 years of working in Canada on the PGWP, you will have more points to apply on EE.
If I'm not mistaken, you will NOT have to apply for any LMIA as PGWP will allow you to work for any employer in Canada during those 2 years post-graduation.
As for bringing family (spouse and minor children), I believe you can bring them at any time, subject to your finances. This finance requirement will vary depending on at which stage you want to bring them. If you want to bring them from the get go (Student Visa) then you'll have to show that you have enough money to support them during that time.
I feel like the finance requirement is relaxed a little after you get PR, this is based on my personal experience. I sponsored by husband (US citizen) to come to Canada and get his own PR, and I wasn't asked to show money in the bank, but only asked to show that I do have employment and can be reasonable expected to support him during the gap of time where he is in Canada as visitor to him becoming PR and able to work (it was about 8 months).
My apologies if the above are not clear. Please feel free to DM me if you want to discuss in further detail. Immigration is a long-term goal, I hope you won't be discouraged by how far it feels and I applaud you for taking the first steps towards your goal.
Yes that is the general idea.
I'm currently debating whether to bring family along while i do my masters, or leave them here. Cost of living for 4 i probably can manage, especially if the wife can get a OWP and contribute some income, but pre-schooling childcare i hear are pretty expensive. once they reach 5/6 years old I can take advantage of the free compulsory schooling. however, its touch leaving young kids and going halfway around the world for 2 years or more.
I dont mean needing a LMIA during my PGWP duration, but securing a LMIA/PNP linked job during that time means i get 200/600 points to my CRS - which more or less should guarantee success.
Of course, the current COVID situation means everything is dependent on how they recover. currently schools are on distant learning which is useless to me. And the local unemployment rate is going up which doesnt help.
One thing i like to ask is your experience with racism and liberalism over there. I know the government policy is anti racism, but how are the feeling of the community and public? also, is SJW movement really as extreme as the internet portrays?
