If my fiancée and her child were here on a TRV and we married and she then applied for PR status, would her son be allowed to go to school here, and if so, would we need to pay international fees? Remember, we would now be married awating PR status for my wife.

Thank you in advance.

You should discuss this with the school district where you live.

I can only tell you what happened to me in Vancouver, BC. The answer is NO. The school board demanded a work visa, study visa or PR before they would allow my son to school. My partner, being the step dad, had no bearing on the outcome.

I understand that the age of the child may also have a bearing on the decision. As Leon said, check the school district.

If you have OWP, apply for a study permit for your child.
