Hi
Just want to have your thoughts on the following situation:
I will be joining KOC in end April and as per policy i need to spend 3 months probation after which they will process family visa.
During these three months can my family join me on visit visa as canadians can get 3 months visist visa.
Will schools entertain admission to my kids who would not have residency during that 3 months period?
Suggestion would help to make sensible and practical decisions.

As they are bearing a Canadian passport they can get the visit visa at the airport just like you. As for the school, it is best to check with them.

I don't think the children will be accepted in schools if they don't have residency, however they might start the process if you have a valid residency but until then there isn't anything you can do as far as school goes.

With the level of education in Kuwait these days, the kids won't be missing much.

True, as long as a student doesn't cause too many problems they usually pass every grade regardless of how much they know.
