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.
@9C7HLYB2yrs2Y
No, but cut the cost by 75%
@9BNTT6M2yrs2Y

No, we should be focusing on improving Canadian Citizens education before helping international students.
@B4NGPMW1wk1W
Subsidize students based on a needs-based criteria, and subsidize enrolment in courses that, based on hiring data, are most likely to result in employment immediately after graduation.
@9V8PY4N7mos7MO
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.
@9T66G448mos8MO
I don't think low income international students should be provided with free education but rather, i think there should be programs to assist low income international students.
