Student visa holders can also bring their dependent children to Canada. The children can stay for the duration till their study visa is valid in Canada. Minor children can pursue their school education in the country provided that their parents are either working or studying. The child must be below the age of 22. Children above 22 years who are not financially independent due to a physical or mental condition are also considered dependents.

This allows them to work for any Canadian employer in any industry without the requirement of a Canadian job offer at the time of applying.
