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'd support some education reimbursement for international students taking an in demand programs (e.g. nursing) that stay and work in the profession for several years.

Not entirely free, but give them some money
@997CMSM2yrs2Y
Tie international student debt relief to their pursuance of citizenship.
@8VTQKZM4yrs4Y
Depends. If their education benefits this country then perhaps. If they will get educated here for free and take that knowledge to another country then definitely not. They should pay what they can and be responsible to payback to this country that educated them for either low cost or free education.
@8WFRGBH4yrs4Y
Make sure they are true and really qualified
