Pursuant to the IRCC guidelines: generally, minor children do need to apply for a study permit from outside of Canada if they want to come to Canada to study. However, there are 3 exceptions to this general rule under which a minor child DOES NOT need to apply for a study permit:

1) one parent (biological or adoptive) is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident; or

2) one parent (biological or adoptive) is permitted to study or work in Canada; or

3) neither parent is physically in Canada.

Assuming that your niece and her husband are approved for a study & work permit respectively, the twins will not need to apply for a study permit.
