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.
@9X5SN9Y1mo1MO
No. Low-income international students should not be allowed to study here, and the number of all international students should be greatly decreased.
@9W7GNYV2mos2MO
Yes, so long as these international students will work and pay taxes in Canada for a minimum period.
@9V8PY4N2mos2MO
I personally think that education should be free regardless. But, I feel it would be unfair to provide them with free education while we're, for example, going to the same school but I'm stuck paying for it.
@9T66G443mos3MO
I don't think low income international students should be provided with free education but rather, i think there should be programs to assist low income international students.
