<p>I am a Korean citizen and a Canadian permanent resident right now.</p>
<p>However, I will get Canadian citizenship about 3 months after applying to universities (March)</p>
<p>Will I still be treated as a Korean, competing with a lot of competitive Koreans?</p>
<p>Or....?</p>
<p>For financial aid purposes, you'll be considered korean, so you are international. Therefore, if a school is need blind towards canadians but not need blind for other internationals, it won't be need blind for you. However, you won't be competing against other Koreans, you'll be competing agains Canadian, who'll more likely have marks/stats that is more easily comparable to your own stats.</p>
<p>wrong, you will be considered a Canadian for those school which give finaid to both Canadian citizens and permanent residents. but for the ones that only give to citizens, you are a Korean when considering aid</p>
<p>does dartmouth only give to canadian citizens (not permanent res)?</p>
<p>i think you'll be considered canadian, since by the time you matriculate, you'll be a citizen of Canada.
Besides, i don't think you are required to show proof of citizenship by the time you apply right? and you won't need to get your visa until June or July...</p>
<p>However, that's only for financial purposes. Competition wise, i think you'll be competiting against everyone.... Because you can't put down "white" under ethnicity. You have to put Asian.
Besides, there's no way you can hide it. Just by your last name the schools can tell exactly WHAT you are....
i.e. Lee=Korean, Li=Chinese, Saratheranbidlseidkcian (most likely Sri Lankan) and Thomson=white.</p>
<p>nope u will be considered a Canadian, since in the US im a korean citizen and I have a green card and I was considered American</p>
<p>well, at least UPenn claims that they are need-blind to both Canadian citizens and immigrants. I guess, at most schools, you will be considered Canadian.</p>
<p>You will compete with other canadaians living in canada. NOT KOREANS living in korea.
Dont know about financial aid.</p>
<p>I can't say for certain if this applies to all Canadian universities, but in general: (this is assuming you applying to a Canadian school)
In terms of tuition, you will pay the rate of a Canadian citizen (ie. not the international rate)
In terms of academics, you compete against all other applicants.</p>
