Re: Scottish university
This is a question for the Scot's. We have 3 kids and are looking to see if anyone has sent their kids back to Scotland for College or university. How long do they have to be in the country to take advantage of the free tuition and if there are other stipulations. All kids have their british passport. 2 kids were born in Scotland.
I have lots of family that can help with accommodation if they need to work there for a year before hand. My daughter is desperate to get back even though she isn't quite 12yrs old. My kids are really close to our family so i don't have any problems with them being taken care of.
Is this feasible at all and if so would you know where i could go for some advice.

improve their quality of life. I couldn't stand the thought of being separated from my children to save a few quid on education.
Each to their own, but the more time they spend in Canada the more they will adjust and feel less homesick.

Re: Scottish university
It's 3 years as mentioned by Scot47, so you have 2-3 years to ascertain whether the draw of Scotland exceeds family life in Canada. How long has she been in Canada so far?

Re: Scottish university
Thanks everyone for the feed back, sorry it took so long to respond. :O The reason for sending my kids back or at least at this time my daughter would like to go back to Scotland for university as she is really close to her grandparents on both sides of our family and they are not getting any younger, plus we have a big family over there and we are all very close and she finds it hard at times, Like we all do. It's just another avenue i wanted to explore while we have time on our side to make sure we all have our citizenship, which we will qualify for this coming April.
We have been in Canada since 2008 and she is now 12yrs old. She does love it here and agree there is more opportunities here and that is the reason we left the UK and we would also have to find out if she did want to come back after her studies that her quaifications are valid here in Canada. So lots to still think about.
I'm sure if she stayed over there for a summer one year she may change her mind about wanting to study in the UK. lol Family may drive her back!!
