Students under the age of 19 are considered minors in Nova Scotia and require a custodian. Visit the Government of Canada's website for more information.
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada may require that some persons under the age of 19 applying for a study permit have a Custodian living in the local community in Canada.
