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.

@9C7HLYB11mos11MO
No, but cut the cost by 75%
@9BNTT6M12mos12MO
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.
