Who can benefit from the student rate?

This varies from store to store. Student rates may vary depending on age, type of school (CEGEP, college or university) or whether the student is a full-time or part-time student.

How old do you have to be to qualify for the student rate?

First of all, you’ll need a school ID card to prove your status. Sometimes, to get a student rate, you need to be a certain age (under 25, 17 to 21, etc.).
