Google positions the offer as an education push to put advanced AI study aids in students’ hands.

Overview

  • Eligible Canadian college and university residents aged 18 or older can enroll now for no‑cost access through December 9, 2025.
  • The plan normally costs $26.99 CAD per month and will renew at that price after the first year unless canceled.
  • The package includes Gemini 2.5 Pro, Deep Research, NotebookLM, and Veo 3 along with 2 TB of cloud storage.
  • Learning features highlighted by Google include Guided Learning with step‑by‑step walkthroughs plus automatic flashcard and study‑guide creation.
  • Gemini answers can incorporate images, diagrams, and YouTube videos to explain complex topics, and the article notes OpenAI’s recent student offer was shorter.
