Misha is a citizen of Croatia, where she currently resides with her ten-year-old son, Nino. Misha is divorced and has full custody of her child. She holds a four-year bachelor's degree in agriculture from the University of Zagreb in Croatia.

Since May 2015 Misha has been working for a reputable company in Croatia "Green Organic Inc." as an agricultural technologist. Her position is on a full-time basis, 40 hours a week, and her salary is equivalent to CAD $85,000.

Because of her many achievements, Misha was nominated employee of the year in 2017. Misha has also received an award for her applied research in the field.

In February 2024, Misha receives a job offer from "Agriculture Food Tech Inc." located in Toronto, Ontario for the position of agricultural technologist.

"Agriculture Food Tech Inc." was impressed with Misha's experience in performing experimental procedures in agriculture, conducting field research to collect samples of water and soil and in applying new methods and techniques to analyze the data and prepare reports.

Misha's experience and skills are aligned with the skills needed for the position they are looking to fill.

"Agriculture Food Tech Inc." has offered Misha a one-year contract with an annual salary of $93,600 for a 40-hour work week (hourly rate being $45). The employer provided Misha with an offer of employment number A0123456 through the IRCC portal and a signed contract of employment.

Nino, Misha's son, will be accompanying his mother to Canada. He will be pursuing his secondary studies at a public school in Toronto. Misha contacted the school and secured his admission for the school year 2024-2025. Misha found out that minors attending public school are exempt from paying the tuition fees if their parents hold a valid work permit.

The mother of Misha, Isabella, is retired in a senior home, where she is very well taken care of. Misha maintains a special relationship with her mother Isabella. When her mother retired to the senior home, Misha and Nino moved into Isabella's house. Misha also owns a small apartment in Croatia that she rents out for $1000/month. She has a bank account with a balance equivalent to CAD $30,000. Misha and Nino have never travelled before, and both are eager to move to Canada.

Misha contacts you to apply for a work permit outside of Canada and for a study permit outside of Canada for Nino, her son. Although Misha is eligible to make an application for a work permit at the Port of Entry to Canada, she prefers to secure the initial approval of her work permit and Nino's study permit before she enters Canada.

Based on your client's request, you will be preparing an application for a work permit outside of Canada and an application for a study permit outside of Canada. You explained to Misha that you will be submitting both applications together at the same time. You told her that a minor can apply for a study permit along with their parent's work permit. The minor's study permit will be contingent on the decision of the parent.
