What's the difference between Canadian immigrant children and international students?

If you have Canadian status, children can apply for schools as local students, and there is no quota limit. In Canada, 12 compulsory education is free and basic adult education is free. Higher education and vocational education can apply for interest-free loans and subsidies, regardless of age and gender.

Foreign students can't. They have strict quotas.

In addition, if you want to transfer, as a Canadian, transfer is not subject to visa restrictions, and international students must reapply.

Tuition standard

Students with Canadian status can apply for interest-free loans from the government according to local student standards, which is about one-fifth of that of international students.

The tuition fee for international students is more than 20 thousand Canadian dollars per year, and they are not eligible to apply for interest-free loans from the government.

Medical allowance

Students with Canadian status can enjoy medical benefits in Canada. Canada implements a universal health insurance plan, and residents enjoy free medical services. If they need to be hospitalized, your hospitalization expenses, medical expenses and meals will be paid by the health care plan.

As an international student, you can't enjoy the medical benefits in Canada, and you must buy expensive private medical insurance yourself.

Other grants

1. Tax incentives for children

Literally, there is no meaning of milk. This is the name given by the local China people, which means that this money is enough for children to drink milk. In Canada, every child can receive this subsidy every month from birth to 18 years old, and the amount depends on the parents' income last year. Of course, families with higher incomes do not have this treatment. One of the purposes of setting up this subsidy is to help low-income families.

2. Child care allowance

In Canada, preschool education for children before the age of 6 is self-funded and expensive. A child's monthly child care fee is 600-800 Canadian dollars, so many low-income families can't afford to send their children to early education, so the government specially allocates funds to set up child care subsidies. According to the specific situation of the applicant, the government sometimes subsidizes half and sometimes fully. Note that this money is paid directly to the kindergarten where the children attend. There is a queue to apply for this money, so you should register as soon as possible. Some people say that neither of us has a job and should be given priority. No! On the contrary, the government thinks that since you can stay at home, it should be no problem to educate your children by yourself. They give priority to families where both husband and wife are working or studying and have little income.

employment opportunities

With Canadian status, you can accumulate work experience through part-time work during your study and subsidize your tuition. You can choose your job freely, have equal employment opportunities, go directly to the United States for employment, and your salary level will not be limited because you are studying, just like the locals.

International students can only work on campus and there is a time limit. Because of visa restrictions, there are not only few employment opportunities, but also employment in the United States, and the salary level is very low.

parenthood

Immigrant parents can get close to their children quickly and give them care and companionship. Because parents can travel freely and timely between their place of residence and their children's school place, it is easier to care about and guide their children's study and life, and timely communication with their children is conducive to parent-child relationship and child cultivation.

It is impossible for parents to visit and take care of foreign students when they suddenly fall ill.
