Dependent Children of TFW and International Students...

[csic_student]

Hi Everyone,

I have a client who is applying for a WP under NOC Level B. He is bringing his wife and 2 kids with him. His kids are 7 and 9 years old. His question is: Will his kids be able to go to a public school system here in Vancouver? I know that the answer is yes as per IRPA 30(2)-Every minor child in Canada, other than a child of a temporary resident not authorized to work or study, is authorized to study at the pre-school, primary or secondary level.
Other Question he has is "Will he have to pay for his kids to go to school?"

Can the experts help out? Also, I would encourage the foreign workers and International students living in Canada to share their experiences.

Thanks again everyone and I look forward to hearing from you.

As long as the TWP is valid for 12 months or more the children will be admitted to school and will not have to pay international fees.
