Am I an International Student?

Applying to College
1

<p>I hold dual citizenship to the US and Canada, but I live in Canada. Am I still an international student?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>

<p>For US colleges, you’re (luckily) considered a domestic student. It’s your citizenship status, not your address.</p>

<p>Are you serious? Wow this helps so much THANKS :D!</p>

<p>You are a US citizen who is living and studying outside the US. This makes you a US applicant for financial aid purposes. </p>

<p>But do send an email to each college/university on your list, and ask them how they want you to submit you school records. Some will want a person familiar with Canada to read that part of your file.</p>

<p>The same applies to dual citizens living in the US. They can pay the low Canadian tuition rates in Canada. Unless you are aiming for a top US school, the bottom line cost will likely still be a lot more than a Canadian school.</p>

<p>Ok now I’m confused…I’m an international student when it comes to financial aid, but not necessarily when considered for admission?</p>

<p>No, your not an international for applying it fin aid. You are domestic for applying to both Canadian and US schools. US schools are just a lot more expensive than Canadian schools most of the time.</p>
