I think you consult some Law Firm like Goldman Associates. You will get a better advice for your query.

To obtain dependent visas for you and the 2 children, your spouse on the student visa has to prove not only that she has sufficient funds to pay all of her school and living expenses, she would also have to prove that she has sufficient funds (without working!) to provide for the living expenses of you and the two children. Also, if you have been working and supporting your wife while she goes to school, that eliminates her source of support under her student visa, and it could be grounds for revoking her student visa. With a spouse on a student visa, you will likely have difficulty obtaining a tourist visa to visit her since there is presumption that you would intend to remain with your spouse. It is also cheaper for one student to fly home for school holidays than fly 3 people to Canada to visit her. Your best bet is to remain in Pakistan, work, support your wife's school & living expenses, and ensure she returns to Pakistan as soon as she leaves school. This whole thing is going to look to immigration authorities as if you got one into Canada so you can get the rest of you in through a "backdoor immigration" scam.
