I hate to be the bearer of bad news but as a person who originally came over to Canada in the last few years on a permit with the intention of doing my Nursing degree I am pretty much certain that you will not qualify for any kind of aid or subsidy. The reason being is that you will be a foreign student and all financial aid will be only made available to Permanent Residents. It is not necessairy to be a citizen but it is required that you have landed status. I would strongly recommend you look into whether this is the best move for you financially as generally university fees for foreign students starts at just under $12,000 per year and diploma courses at college are not much less, if at all. I would for sure enquire with the International Student Services department at the school you plan on attending but I think they will probably tell you the same as I have that all services are for resident students only. Fingers crossed there is something otherwise maybe consider holding of on your studies in Canada until your son is old enough to attend JK which is the year he will turn 4. If you have a study permit then it will automatically give him entitlement to education which will mean you would likely only need before and after school care which is often, at least in my area, offered in the school for about $7 -$12 a day. Good Luck and let us know how you get on.
