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.

yes, I still think they need to pay but at a lower price.
@9C9G73G1yr1Y
No, but accommodations can be made so then they are still able to afford an education.

@9C7HLYB1yr1Y
No, but cut the cost by 75%

I'd support some education reimbursement for international students taking an in demand programs (e.g. nursing) that stay and work in the profession for several years.
@9KTFCM75mos5MO
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.
