<p>are Canadians considered
"International Students,"
meaning that they have relatively less chance of getting in abd receive
financial aid?</p>
<p>I'm also seeing on college websites that
international students must submit Toefl scores.
Although I'm asian, I have canadian citizenship and
speak english fluently. Do I still have to take TOEFL?</p>
<p>no, canadians or anybody from any english-speaking country do not have to take toefl. </p>
<p>as for the international student status, it depends on the school. some schools i've seen have deemed canadians as part of their 'domestic' students (last year i believe michagan stated this) so it means we are eligible for their scholarships. however for the most part, a lot of the colleges consider canadians as international students. </p>
<p>check with the school though because i've seen some schools have different policies regarding financial aid re: canadians.</p>
<p>I see I see.
I know that Cornell also considers Canadians their domestic students
and offers financial aid/scholarships to them.
Does anybody know any other colleges??</p>
<p>The only schools I know of in Michigan that consider Canadians (and specifically only residents of Ontario) as "domestic students" is Wayne State U in Detroit, and University of Michigan - (Flint campus only). All that means is that you don't have to pay non-resident tuition fees, but instead, pay resident tuition which is a lot cheaper. For example, resident Wayne State tuition is at $200/point, whereas non-resident is about $500/point. But regardless of this, you will still be considered an "International Student" meaning that you will need to get a Visa, not be considered for scholarships/financial aid (all are offered only to US citizens), and you will need to pay International Student Fees.</p>
<p>um.. I don't think Canadians need a visa to study in the US. A canadian citizenship passport is all they need.</p>
<p>yeah they do. canadians can visit the US (for 6 mos out of the year), but anyone staying requires a visa (either work visa or student visa). But if accepted at a US school, very easy to get a student visa (the school will provide the paperwork needed and its very simple).</p>
