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.

It shouldn't be free, but institutions should not force these students to pay 2-4 times than what a domestic student would pay.
Not free education but heavily reduced
I do not think it should be free, but provide help with cost
Refugees who immigrated into Canada should be provided education at community colleges. Refugees who have education and experience need to be given the chance to write an exam to qualify them for positions. IE, doctors, engineers etc. Many of the Refugees would choose to live in places who are desperate for these professionals.
@8VTHZMJ4yrs4Y
Yes, and so should Canadian students
As long as local students have the same rights.
@8VKTHC34yrs4Y
Yes, but only when low income in proven
Doesn't have to be free, but SIGNIFICANTLY less than the thousands they currently pay
@8VK8W664yrs4Y
only if they have finical need the the rest of the people.
@8VHTYSVNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Depends on their financial situation.
@8VHLCFZ4yrs4Y
for elementry secondary and highschool yes, but they should pay for secia; colleges and universities like the rest of the population.
No, however it shouldn't be as expensive as it is
Not a free education, but if they need financial help they should receive it. Must fill out a form/survey in order to gain this financial help from the government.
There should be opportunities to help aide the students who need it.
as long as national do to, because if it only them i will sue everyone
I think they should be provided with a low price for education not fully free. It should be a reasonable price which they can afford.
This question creates divide and competition between international students. It creates elitism.
