Financial aid for international student in Canada?
moldyrutabaga is not correct. Canadian universities have low fees for Canadian citizens and permanent residents -- about $5000 for eight months tuition (plus books and fees). Foreign students pay four to five times this -- more like $20,000 to $25,000 per eight months. With living costs you are looking between $35,000 and $40,000 for eight months. In addition, not all universities (espeically smaller ones) accept foreign students and even in larger universities some programs do not set aside for foreign students. For example, for an international student, eight months of undergraduate studies for a BSc is $24,159 (plus $826 in fees and $1300 for books) plus living costs over $11,000 (on campus). Medical school at UBC is not available to foreign students. The first site has a listing of links to the fees pages for all major universities in Canada. Most universities also have online lists of possible scholarships, bursaries, and loans -- or you can get a list by contacting their admissions department. Almost none of these apply to international students. Taxpayer money is for citizens and most private scholarships are for the benefit it members. However, you can certainly look through their list and see if any apply. Most are also only a few thousand per year. The final link to UBCs listing of scholarships and loan programs. You will likely have the same issue in the US -- most of their programs, loans, and scholarships only apply if you attend a US university. If you are serious, your best bets are: * US college with exchange programs. * Private exchange organizations. Typically, you stay at someones parents place and your parents agree to allow a foreign student to attend. This might be harder to US citizens since most Canadian would rather attend overseas exchanges, but you never know. May say $5000+ off living costs. * Scholarships based on religious, ethnic, or cultural groups. Sometimes smaller groups do not have the restriction on US-only colleges or might even encourage international studies -- although it is a stretch for Canada. For example, an Italian American group might allow a scholarship for Italy. * Private loans. Banks, family, friends, etc.
Cheap universities for international students in Canada !!!?
1. There's no way you can go to school on that ridiculously tiny budget. Plan to need at least C$2000 a month for living expenses in addition to all school tuition, fees, books & supplies, health insurance & additional financial requirements from the school. In high-cost cities such as Vancouver & Toronto, that's not enough! You will need lots of winter clothing to survive Canadian winters - being from Lebanon, you are completely clueless about cold weather & completely unprepared wardrobe-wise. Budget at least $2000 just for proper winter clothing. 2. Student visas are temporary NON-immigration visas, and a condition of issuance is that you return to your country of citizenship immediately upon completion or termination of studies. Intent to remain is actually visa fraud - and any visa fraud can get you deported & permanently barred. 3. Worldwide glut of MBAs, BBAs, etc, in finance & accounting. Not eligible for any employment visa in most countries. Canadians are, on average, the most highly educated people on the planet, and you think they are short of accountants & financiers? LOL! You will NOT remain in Canada. You must return to your country of citizenship, and you are not working abroad even if you get an MBA - not eligible for employment visas. 4. Room & board (accommodation) only covers school terms, not summer or other vacations.
Foreign exchange student wants to stay in the U.S. to further her education, what can she do to stay?
Is she a foreign exchange student in high school? Most of those visas mandate they return to their country for a minimum of two years - this bars the student from reentering the US. Also, she is too young to be allowed into the US except through a recognized foreign exchange student program where these students live with an approved family. Minor children cannot stay in the US without their parents! If she is a college sophomore, and on an exchange program through her college, she needs to return home, apply to US universities as a transfer student, and if accepted, then she & her parents must prove she has sufficient funds for all school expenses, plus all her living expenses, plus return transportation to her country of citizenship. F-1 foreign student visas must be applied for in the candidate's country of citizenship. She needs to go home immediately upon completion of her exchange program. Then she can start college admissions research if she's in high school, or apply for transfer student if she's in college. BTW, I've known English teachers at Thammasat University in Bangkok, and both Thammasat and Chulalongkorn Universities have excellent reputations. She can get a very good education in Thailand, including excellent English language instruction. Plenty of expats in Bangkok & Chang Mai in particular, lots of English-language programs, opportunities to learn & to practice. LOTS of opportunities for her in her own country, and she is probably unaware of most, if not almost all, of her great opportunities there.
