If you live in America and want to go to college as an international student in Canada, will you pay tuition?
Because college in Canada is free. Is it also free for international students?

It's not free, and international students pay a lot more.

Oh my...I don't know where you heard that college in Canada is free...its not (I have two nieces in college - (one in BC & one in Manitoba). They are partially subsidized by the government, but not to the point that its free. Here's a cross-Canada tuition comparison from the UC British Columbia website for non-international students: http://www.students.ubc.ca/tuitionconsultation/201112-tuition-proposal/vancouver-proposal/comparative-tuition-and-fees/ At UBC, its about $120 per undergraduate credit, for international students its about $700. Here's a link for international rates at UBC: http://www.students.ubc.ca/coursesreg/tuition-fees-deposits/tuition-international-students/

You have to be a naturalized Canadian citizen in order to get free college. It's definitely not free for international students -- in fact, you'd probably end up paying a lot more. Sorry, there's no quick fix to pay out the nose for college.

College in Canada means community college. And I have no idea how you got the idea it was free in Canada. Some European countries have free university but in Canada it is not free to anyone, citizens or otherwise. And you will pay even more as an international student.
