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, but accommodations can be made so then they are still able to afford an education.
@9C8YBHH2yrs2Y
@9C7HLYB2yrs2Y
No, but cut the cost by 75%
@9BNTT6M2yrs2Y
yes, I still think they need to pay but at a lower price.
@B45BC942 days2D
No, there are many Canadian citizens who can't afford school. If there are funds left after all Canadian students who want to attend are, then we can look at helping interantional students.
@B3YW9621wk1W
No, and they should be deported because there’s no reason international students should be in Canada if they can’t financially support themselves.
@9X5SN9Y5mos5MO
No. Low-income international students should not be allowed to study here, and the number of all international students should be greatly decreased.
@9W7GNYV5mos5MO
Yes, so long as these international students will work and pay taxes in Canada for a minimum period.
