<p>I am from Toronto, i don't know how the financial package will differ for Canadians vs. Americans? I heard that I can't apply for loan from Ontario government, and Canadian federal government doesn't seem to give enough money. How much does Columbia offer? Can Canadian student work part-time while studying in US or do we need to apply for a permit or something? is anyone else in the same situation? (i am still waiting for admission packet...should be coming soon)</p>
