Hi,
I'm a non-resident, Canadian citizen and my son (14 y.o.) is enrolled in HS that is currently out of Canada (Singapore).
If I'm able to enroll him in a Canadian HS, I understand he would be eligible to benefits as a citizen, and not subject to international fees.
However as neither parent will be joining him, are there any tax implications to us as non-residents, and does it make any difference whether he is enrolled in public school or private (boarding) school?

- Generally, there are no direct tax implications for you as non-resident parents for your son's education in Canada. As Canadian citizens, your son wouldn't be required to pay income tax unless he starts earning income in Canada.

Enrolling your son in a Canadian high school outside of Canada may have minimal tax implications. These include your residency status, eligibility for child tax benefits, tuition fees, and tax planning. Canadian residents may not be subject to Canadian income tax on their worldwide income, but may still have tax obligations related to Canadian-source income or assets. Public schools generally have lower tuition fees for Canadian residents, while private schools may offer scholarships or financial aid. Consult a tax professional for personalized advice.

Non-resident Canadian citizens considering enrolling their son in a Canadian high school in Singapore should consider tax implications and school type. They are eligible for benefits such as access to public education without international fees. Non-residents are not subject to Canadian income tax on their worldwide income, but may be considered a resident for tax purposes if their son is living in Canada for school purposes. Dependent tax credits, such as the Canada Child Benefit, may be available for non-residents. Public schools typically have no significant tax implications for non-residents, while private schools may incur tuition fees. Consulting a tax professional, researching schools, and considering legal residency can help make informed decisions about your son's education in Canada.

Regardless of whether the kid is enrolled in a Canadian school, a Canadian citizen enrolling their son in Singapore's high school without their parents' consent has tax consequences and problems about how participation in public or private schools impacts non-resident benefits and foreign fees.
