Non Residents sending children to school
Hi all,
We are thinking of making the move to Canada and we were wondering if it is possible to send children to school if we are non resident status
Thank you
PJ

Re: Non Residents sending children to school
Hi, paulajayne, and welcome to the BE forum.
You would have to get study permits for your children. They then would be classified as international students, and each would have to pay tuition in the order of $1,000/month (even at public schools, which are the equivalent of state schools).
You bump up against several limitations if you live in Canada as a visitor. See the Wiki article called Living in Canada as a VISITOR.

Hi Judy 
Thanks for your super quick reply
We have been accepted in principle for a residency permit but this looks like it will cause HUGE tax issues for my OH as he is self- employed and works on cruise ships for a large portion of the year - in the UK and in France (where we live at the moment ) this is not a problem and gets tax breaks for this but from what we've found out so far it seems that this is not the case in Canada so looking at other ways of getting round it - bearing in mind our daughter at present is only 3
Thanks again
PJ
