Dependant Pass
Residency authorization for spouses and dependants of permit holders.
What Makes This Hard
Filed as an Afterthought
Dependant applications are often started only after the primary permit is secured, delaying the family's arrival unnecessarily.
Civil Documentation Gaps
Marriage and birth certificates from other jurisdictions sometimes need additional authentication that families aren't prepared for.
Overview
A Dependant Pass provides residency authorization for the spouse and dependent children of a work permit holder, allowing families to relocate together rather than separately.
