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 cut the cost by 75%
@9BNTT6M2yrs2Y
yes, I still think they need to pay but at a lower price.
@9C9G73G2yrs2Y
No, but accommodations can be made so then they are still able to afford an education.

While it would be ideal to provide more support for low-income international students, providing free education might strain resources. A better approach could be to offer targeted financial aid, scholarships, or reduced tuition for those in need.
@B2TWT9H1wk1W
No, because it was their choice to come and study as an international student. It would not be fair for other international students as well national students.
@B253JSG2mos2MO
i think you could lower the cost of these people but then you'll have to give different privileges that these other students cant have.
@9X5SN9Y4mos4MO
No. Low-income international students should not be allowed to study here, and the number of all international students should be greatly decreased.
