In Vancouver, children of international students between the ages of 5 and 18 are entitled to public education during all periods of their parents' studies in the country, as long as certain requirements are met: At least one parent needs to be enrolled in a Canadian public institution of higher education in full-time programs and guaranteeing at least a diploma. Certificate programs do not count; In the case of private institutions, the program must be full-time and a degree program (bachelor or master, for example); If the program is a certificate program, the other spouse must have a valid work permit and needs to be employed full-time.

No
@9HCGFMC5mos5MO
No, international students could emphasize the significant cultural and economic benefits they bring to host countries. International students contribute to diversity, foster cross-cultural understanding, and often become valuable contributors to the local workforce after graduation, enhancing innovation and global collaboration.
@ISIDEWITH3yrs3Y
Yes
@9HCGFMC5mos5MO
International students contribute substantially to the economies of host countries. According to data from organizations like the Institute of International Education, they inject billions of dollars into local economies through tuition, accommodation, and daily expenses. Moreover, a diverse student body enhances the learning experience, preparing domestic students for a globalized workforce. Research indicates that exposure to different perspectives fosters creativity and problem-solving skills, making campuses more vibrant and academically enriching.

@9C9G73G11mos11MO
No, but accommodations can be made so then they are still able to afford an education.
@9C8YBHH11mos11MO
@9C7HLYB11mos11MO
No, but cut the cost by 75%
@9BNTT6MConservative12mos12MO
yes, I still think they need to pay but at a lower price.
@9KTFCM71mo1MO
Yes, but only after the ethical concerns surrounding student recruitment overseas are sufficiently addressed in order to ensure students on permits are not being exploited for cheap labour.
@9KC6XPW2mos2MO
No but neither should they be fleeced. They should be charged a bit more than local students and eligible for scholarships.
@9K6M4542mos2MO
as long as they're harmless, sure, if they have something to pay up though, lower the prices for everyone else then.
@9HZVN7G3mos3MO
No, but undergraduate level education should be free for all Canadian citizens. Additionally, ujniversities should be forced to create additional classes for in demand classes to educate more Canadian citizens instead of preserving exclusivity to attract more Foreign students.
@9H9B62GConservative5mos5MO
No, I believe it is the responsibility of the international student and their family to prepare themselves before entering a new education system.
@9H6GJSN5mos5MO
It shouldn't be free, but institutions should not force these students to pay 2-4 times than what a domestic student would pay.
@9H4KC4K5mos5MO
Many different identity factors come into play when looking into post-secondary education. I don't think we can afford to make most things free, but there are many components of identity that impact someone's accessibility to post-secondary education. All these factors need to be considered, so as to make education accessible to everyone possible.
@9GC7H5L6mos6MO
Lower income should be provided with lower tuition rates, but be capped on how many years they can study
@9FP299G7mos7MO
Depending on their grades and history in school.
@9FNQCN77mos7MO
No, Why treat low income international students better than low income Canadian Students
@9FHC68P7mos7MO
Yes, only for certain programs in fields with high unemployment.
@8VZHZD33yrs3Y
If low income international students be provided with a free education, students who are citizens/residents in their own provinces should be provided with free education first before international students.
@8VV2P573yrs3Y
They should be treated the same as everyone else
Refugees who immigrated into Canada should be provided education at community colleges. Refugees who have education and experience need to be given the chance to write an exam to qualify them for positions. IE, doctors, engineers etc. Many of the Refugees would choose to live in places who are desperate for these professionals.
@8VTS2BW3yrs3Y
No, if they require education they should pay the same as a Canadian citizen
@8VTP6H33yrs3Y
low income students should be provided a free education not JUST international
@8VTMGJ93yrs3Y
Not free, but subsidized, or interest free loan
@8VTHZMJ3yrs3Y
Yes, and so should Canadian students
@8VTL4WZ3yrs3Y
I don't have strong feelings about this
@8VTGXS33yrs3Y
Only if the same is offered to Canadian citizens and if the foreign student is required to work and use the education they were provided before returning to their home country
Only through scholarships.
@8VT2SFK3yrs3Y
Not free but not as high as is it
@8VSFYK63yrs3Y
It should be offered, with many opportunities of scholarships. If a free education would not be available, it would be important regardless, to consider the students' financial situation. I believe this should apply to both international and out-of-province students.
@8VSFHBP3yrs3Y
only if it's provided to ALL low income students
@8VSBCPR3yrs3Y
There needs to be some sort of exchange rate depending on the economic stance of the international student based off of their location.
@8VS8X533yrs3Y
No. For every foreign student there should be a decrease on our Canadian students tuition. Ensure there is more allocated space for our Canadian students as a priority over foreign students.
@8VS6JN63yrs3Y
@8VRZVG93yrs3Y
no but the fee should be lowered for all low income canadians immigrants or not.
@8VRZVG93yrs3Y
no but it the fee should be lowered for all low income canadians immigrants or not.
@8VRXR3R3yrs3Y
Yes, and education should be free for citizens.
@8VRRSXW3yrs3Y
No, but more financially attainable
@8VRD2783yrs3Y
Yes, maybe only through high school.
@8VR933S3yrs3Y
Elementary and secondary school yes not college or university.
@8VR8XW73yrs3Y
There should be a systematic approach to this considering educators salaries. I would want to look into abolishing international fees instead and working with a lower income domestic/international students situation to help them achieve the same right to education as a higher income student.
@8VR67VD3yrs3Y
not completely but to a payable spot where they could still afford basic living needs (housing, water, hydro, transportation etc)
@8VR2YRK3yrs3Y
What a ridiculous question absolutely NOT get out let Canadians in
It should be the same as everyone else
