THIS POST IS SOLVED AND CLOSED
IT WON'T BE EDITED BY ME ANYMORE
Good day everyone.​

Recently I have been trying to travel to Canada, but there are a lot of question I have to ask.
I have read quiet useful information on www.cic.gc.ca , but yet i didn't find the answer to some of my questions.​

Information that you may need to know about me:​

Gender: Male
Age: Born 4th of December of 2002, 15 years old.
Nationality: Iranian
School Level: Level 9 (Currently Level 8) Junior high
Budget: My budget is 16,500k CAD for a year, that is why I am looking to work.
Notes: I am good at learing and doing every work, I have learnt to design websites and also have done technical work (not at a professional but basic knowledge) and I am always down for a job.
(I will update this with new questions)

My questions:​

(You can just copy paste and answer them)

What is the best location to study in Canada? (Prices and affordable) ...

Can I enter Canada with a Tourist Visa then apply at a DLI for visa? ...

If my legal parent has to leave Canada for a 2 or 3 weeks, can I stay in Canada while he/she is gone? My parents wont be able to live with me while I study, I would have to look for a guardian who is currently living in Canada since I am a minor.
(That is my plan B, if It is too expensive to apply for study permit, I would live with one of my parents)

Is it quiet possible to find a job for my age? I cant

What is the job that I will most likely get? And how much will it pay? I cant

Is my budget even enough? If not, how much more do I need and can I earn it by working? I cant work

Can I go to Government funded school, even though I am not a Canadian Citizen? If so, are public schools free? Public schools are not free but cheaper, $15K is just the tuition and public schools don't offer Housing and meals. Only private schools provide Housing (Not meals probably).

I think I am low on budget what do you think and what are your advices? Since you are an international student, you will need to pay a fee of around $15K per year to attend public high school (private school will cost more). International students studying at the high school level are not allowed to work in Canada. You will need to cover the costs of your tuition fees and living expenses without working in Canada. Your parents will need to show a bank account of at least $25K just for the study permit to be approved.

If I want to stay with my legal parent, how much is rental fee for a cheap studio house? My parents wont be able to live with me while I study, I would have to look for a guardian who is currently living in Canada since I am a minor.

How much usually is school boarding fee and is it worth it?

There are surely more question that will pop in my mind but these are all I could think of for now.​

Thanks for the reply, I edited the post.

I also answered your question on 'government schools' - we refer to them as public schools here. Attending one will not be free for you - tuition will be around $15K per year (this does NOT include housing or meals).

Will edit it, thanks for reminding.

Also note that your parents won't be able to live with you here while you study. They will have to find someone to act as your guardian (someone already living in Canada) since you are a minor.

What If I apply for school housing? do I still need a guardian?

Nope - wrong.

The $15K does NOT include housing and meals. The $15K is just tuition. You should budget an extra $10K for housing and means. So you need around $25K per year if you plan to attend the cheaper public schools.

Public schools don't offer housing. You'd need to attend private school - that's going to cost you a great deal more.
