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.
@9H9B62GConservative1yr1Y
No, I believe it is the responsibility of the international student and their family to prepare themselves before entering a new education system.
@9VY5FM6Conservative6mos6MO
Only receive gov't paid education if immigrants are studying for identified canadian employment shortfalls. The immigrant must agree to work in his field in Canada for 5 years.
@9VWB6626mos6MO
Low income international students should not be here. Only those who can afford tuition or have earned a scholarship should be permitted.
@8VS8X534yrs4Y
No. For every foreign student there should be a decrease on our Canadian students tuition. Ensure there is more allocated space for our Canadian students as a priority over foreign students.
@8VRZVG94yrs4Y
no but the fee should be lowered for all low income canadians immigrants or not.
@8VRZVG94yrs4Y
no but it the fee should be lowered for all low income canadians immigrants or not.
@8VR2YRK4yrs4Y
What a ridiculous question absolutely NOT get out let Canadians in
@8VPHDTB4yrs4Y
If it is for a good purpose and they have good grades.
@8VLG9Z54yrs4Y
No, they should pay for their own education
@8VKXC2XConservative4yrs4Y
yes, its so expensive here lol
@8VKT29Q4yrs4Y
Depending on the student's situation
@8VJFBM5Conservative4yrs4Y
Normal education no but for learning our language yes.
@8VJ6J92Conservative4yrs4Y
If they can prove that they know a very large amount of the history between countries that they will be going to, I see no issue to this. They already proved themselves, let’s see if they’re serious.
@8VHX7M4Conservative4yrs4Y
if we have to work at 15 years old or whatever to pay for college then so should anyone else who comes here
@8VHM3PKConservative4yrs4Y
If they come to Canada for a better life and they can't afford education, then yes there education should be payed for.
@9BS7TQY2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for three quarters of their studies
@98YZYPR2yrs2Y
Not necessarily, they should be given the Canadian tuition prices as well as have access to most of the scholarships as Canadian students.
@98MC5YVConservative2yrs2Y
No but they should have some sort of program where they get a reduced rate or have a program where these students get financial help from the government.
@98722H2Conservative2yrs2Y
Yes, but only through private scholarships
@97T4JZCConservative2yrs2Y
No, only through scholarships, and focus on Canadian citizen students first, either way, cost should be reduced
