<p>I am currently living in the US but not a permanent resident. I go to the schools here and have lived in the US for 8 years (one 4 year term, one 4 year term). Am I considered a domestic applicant or international applicant? Do I have the same chances as permanent residents or US citizens?</p>
<p>canadian citizens' status differs in each school.
some schools will consider you as an US citizen, putting you in that pool.
However, some schools will put you in the canadian international pool.
Check with each school's website under -what they define as an international student and an international pool</p>
<p>US citizens and PRs don't have any advantage in admissions except in their own states. The only difference is in financial aids.</p>
<p>Depending on the college, you will probably have to file the international application, but you will be evaluated with your classmates in high school. You will probably not be considered in-state anywhere.</p>
<p>You'll probably have to fill out an international application, if it's different for intels, and any intel supplements if you use Common App. In some schools, Canadian citizens are considered for the same benefits of financial aid as American citizens. (Lucky!) Though that IS an individual choice, so as others mentioned, best to haunt the admissions page for each college. If it doesn't explicitly state, you might be able to do a search with "Canadian citizen" or email the admissions office.</p>
