Canadian Uni Fees for Immigrants
HI!
If we move to Canada two years before our son begins university, will he be eligible to be treated as a home student in terms of fees? I'm not sure how long/when we would get PR. My understanding is that he will have lost "home student" status in the Uk by then and we don't want to fall between two stools having to pay international fees both in Canada AND in the UK. Does anyone understand the rules on this please?
Thanks so much.

That's the way it usually goes anyway, although you may need to check with the individual uni just to be sure their policy isn't any different.

So kind to reply so quickly - thank you!
I'm a bit green about all this so not sure - do under-18's automatically get PR if their parents have it?

Some universities in Ontario charge domestic fees to children of certain temporary foreign workers. The University of Toronto is one that does the last time I looked.

Those dependents whose parents are on employer specific Work Permits may be eligible for domestic fees at some Ontario universities e.g.
