<p>I'm a Canadian but live in Shanghai. One university that I looked at had two applications for domestic(US and Canada) and international students. Which application should I use?</p>
<p>I think they go by your current country of residence. Best bet would be to check out the university’s website or see if the school has a fan page on facebook and ask your question there (I know Ni****ing does this).</p>
<p>One of the universities say: “If you’re not from Canada or US, use the International application.” I’m not sure if they go by passport nationality or where I currently live.</p>
<p>Pick up the telephone and call them.</p>
<p>Canada or US may refer to school systems that they understand well - in which case you would need to include supplementary forms that describe your foreign school in terms that the college/university can understand.</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>Canada or US may refer to citizenship (passport) and have more to do with how they calculate financial aid.</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>It may be something else entirely.</p>
<p>You won’t know what they mean until you ask them. Don’t be afraid to ask. They get this kind of question from students like you every single year.</p>
<p>I am fairly sure it refers to citizenship/residency status. For example my sister was born in India, but because she was a permanent resident of the United States she was considered a domestic student. So if you were born in Canada and don’t hold Chinese residency I would say you are domestic.</p>
