Source checked 28 October 2026
Google Canada announced on 28 October 2026 that eligible Canadian university and college students can claim a year of Google AI Plus at no charge. The offer is region-specific: this announcement does not establish eligibility for students in India or elsewhere.
The dates and payment condition
Google says eligible students can claim the offer until 31 December 2026. A valid payment method is required. Its published terms state that the plan automatically renews after the trial at $6.99 per month or the then-current subscription fee, plus applicable taxes, unless cancelled. Confirm the currency and final terms on your own checkout screen.
What is included?
The announcement lists higher Gemini usage limits, Gemini in Google apps such as Gmail, and 400GB of storage. Availability and restrictions vary across features and accounts. The offer should be evaluated against the features you can actually access, rather than every capability shown in a demonstration.
A practical way to assess the plan
Choose one real study task before signing up: organising class notes, making practice questions or checking your understanding of a topic. Compare the result with your course materials. Ask the tool to explain a solution, then try a similar question yourself without assistance.
Keep control of the trial
Save the confirmation and renewal date, and set your own reminder before the paid period begins. Review what happens to storage and other benefits when a plan ends. Do not assume that a free first year means there are no future charges.
Use it within your course rules
Follow your institution’s requirements for assessed work and protect private information in uploaded materials. Our editorial view is to judge an AI study tool by whether it improves your understanding, not how quickly it produces a finished answer. This article is an offer briefing, not a hands-on review.
