Hello guys,

My friend is in a situation, his wife is coming as an international student and him as a dependent, they have a 2 year old kid, they’re worried about the kid’s education.
Is schooling free here because the kid is an international too does he have to pay for the kid to go to school if it is then how much would be the fee. Please help

A 2 year old is too young to go to school. The child would have to go to daycare. Daycare is not free. It can actually be quite expensive depending on which city they plan to live in (in Toronto for example, the average cost of daycare is more than $1,500 per month). They should research the costs before coming to Canada.

Sorry I didn’t put my question right, i mean to ask when he turns 3 or 4 when he’s ready to go to school

He'll still be too young at 3 and will have to be sent to daycare. He may be old enough at 4 - depends when his birthday is.

Once he's old enough for kindergarten at 4 or 5 - it's free.

Until then - it's expensive.

Has the spouse been granted a work permit? Child been granted a trv? Is the program longer than 2 years? If not it will likely not be an issue.
