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 accommodations can be made so then they are still able to afford an education.
@9C8YBHH2yrs2Y
@9KC6XPW1yr1Y
No but neither should they be fleeced. They should be charged a bit more than local students and eligible for scholarships.
@9H6GJSN1yr1Y
It shouldn't be free, but institutions should not force these students to pay 2-4 times than what a domestic student would pay.
@9FNQCN72yrs2Y
No, Why treat low income international students better than low income Canadian Students
@B45BC944wks4W
No, there are many Canadian citizens who can't afford school. If there are funds left after all Canadian students who want to attend are, then we can look at helping interantional students.
@B3YW9621mo1MO
No, and they should be deported because there’s no reason international students should be in Canada if they can’t financially support themselves.
@B2TWT9HConservative2mos2MO
No, because it was their choice to come and study as an international student. It would not be fair for other international students as well national students.
@9F5KMPV2yrs2Y
Everyone should have access to a free education and job training regardless of if they were born in Canada.
@9C7D8F92yrs2Y
Yes but only if they move here to say be a doctor or something in heath care otherwise no one should get free post secondary
@92V2G3M3yrs3Y
Yes, but post secondary is through scholarships.
@8VTS2BW4yrs4Y
No, if they require education they should pay the same as a Canadian citizen
@8VTGXS34yrs4Y
Only if the same is offered to Canadian citizens and if the foreign student is required to work and use the education they were provided before returning to their home country
@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.
@8VRRSXW4yrs4Y
No, but more financially attainable
@8VRD2784yrs4Y
Yes, maybe only through high school.
@8VPC95H4yrs4Y
If domestic students are, yes.
@8VNRPTF4yrs4Y
Absolutely not! Why would they get it for free, but my children would still have to pay? Ridiculous
@8VLK8XC4yrs4Y
Yes, but depending on their financial situation. And/or that the get employment after graduating.
@8VL37XS4yrs4Y
No, cost of tuition and cost of living should be increased for non-citizens
@8VK7ZXR4yrs4Y
Yes, if it’s free for all.
@8VK6YH54yrs4Y
If it is Post Secondary no, if it is grade school yes.
@8VJZW9WNew Democratic4yrs4Y
The “children of international students” should, yes. International students should not. Question worded incorrectly?
@8VJGYT34yrs4Y
Yes, for young students, and in situations where the student has lost both parents, and can repay the free education at a discount once they complete their studies and are allowed to work.
@8VJGX544yrs4Y
No one should be provided with a 'free' education. No one is entitled to slave labor.
@8VJFQJN4yrs4Y
Yes just because they are international students doesn’t mean they are any different from a citizen
@8VJFBM5Conservative4yrs4Y
Normal education no but for learning our language yes.
@8VJBZ2L4yrs4Y
Give to every student the same, if education is free make it free to all.
@8VJBD29Libertarian4yrs4Y
For post secondary. If someone is posting tax in Canada, they should be able to attend school free of charge
@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.
@8VHZJ2G4yrs4Y
Yes, for refugee or special circumstances, not wealthy international families.
@8VHZGHH4yrs4Y
@8VHWNG54yrs4Y
I think it should depend on household income, as it should for everyone. I do think that students needing extra tutoring or language classes should be at least provided those services for free.
@8VHVM9X4yrs4Y
Can we get free education for ourselves first?
@8VHTYSVNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Depends on their financial situation.
@8VHTKH34yrs4Y
@8VHT2W4New Democratic4yrs4Y
if they have been in the country for more then 5 years
@8VHM6V3New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, depending on whether or not they are able to afford it
@8VHLFJGNew Democratic4yrs4Y
The schooling yes but maybe not the housing situation.
@8VHKSPV4yrs4Y
You should be able to apply for free education
No, however it shouldn't be as expensive as it is
@9C9F9K32yrs2Y
I believe they should have access to free education up until post secondary. Without scholarships I believe they should still have to pay for post-secondary education, however, maybe they should implement better plans so they can gradually pay it back.
@996L2JH2yrs2Y
No, however their financial needs should be taken into account.
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.
@98YDFDC2yrs2Y
Yes, except only through scholarships for post-secondary
@98YDF852yrs2Y
yes, except only through scholarships for post secondary
as long as national do to, because if it only them i will sue everyone
@96JLQNJ3yrs3Y
Should be provided with education but instead of free, the fee should be reduced by 50%
@8VKXTJKNew Democratic4yrs4Y
they should have less restrictions and a little more way to help pay off loans because it could be a case where they were escaping poverty to begin with
@8VJD7WT4yrs4Y
I don’t think it should be free, but tuition does international students should be the same as tuition for domestic students
@8VJ7MXZ4yrs4Y
Not unless all students are provided free education
@8VJ2PFC4yrs4Y
Subsidize according their economic status and grade standing.
@8VHTGFL4yrs4Y
depending on which education
@8VHSZHT4yrs4Y
some of it should be payed off by the government
@8VHRJWK4yrs4Y
yes but as long as they have around 85% higher in all classes and subjects
@8Y4SD673yrs3Y
No, but The price point for international students should be the same as Canadian citizens
@9BRNCGJ2yrs2Y
No, and get rid of international students
