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.

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.

not completely but to a payable spot where they could still afford basic living needs (housing, water, hydro, transportation etc)
Depending on families' annual income. If Canadians making under a certain income a year and are granted free education, international students should apply if qualified.
Yes, but only if they meet specific criteria for financial assistance
@8VHV78F4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if it is an option for eligible students and is also made available to equally eligible canadians
Only if Canadian citizens do as well.
@8VHKSPV4yrs4Y
You should be able to apply for free education
Poorly worded, yes the “children” of international students should have access to the public education system
Depending on refugee status family income
