I am new to this forum and while surfing realized that you are the most well reputed senior here , whose wisdom has much been appreciated by others so please guide us as well , i will be obliged


Question: My son is 6 years old and because of religious reasons we were not very comfortable of sending our son to school that early in his life. We wanted to do his early education at home and only send him when the compulsory education starts. Therefore we did not send our son to school at Junior Kindergarten level (age bracket: 4 - 5) and Kindergarten level (age bracket: 5 - 6). We checked that the mandatory/compulsory education starts from class 1 (age bracket: 6 - 7). Now we will start sending our son to school after summer holidays.

The issue is that we got to apply for PR card renewal and they have been asking for his 5 year school record which unfortunately is not there. Though I have been working in Canada and is also submitting my tax returns and my employer is also submitting tax recepits on monthly basis. I am afraid that they would consider my son's non-availability of school record a big negative and will hurt our chances of renewing our PR card. We would be obliged if someone could guide us on that

Education is compulsory between ages 6 to 16 in every province in Canada. While the compulsory school leaving age is raised to 18 in two provinces (Ontario and New Brunswick). In some provinces though, early leaving exemptions can be granted under certain circumstances at 14.

U can quote that from the "Compulsory Schooling Legislation" and seek a 'waiver'. And IMHO, it shouldn't mar ur PR renewal chances.
