<p>So my ssn will be here in a few days. As a canadian citizen does this mean I can apply for financial aid on the same grounds as a united states citizen? Does it make me a resident because its supposed to be the one that lets me work. Might not be green card.
As a canadian living in the US I do have to apply as an international right?</p>
<p>If you do not have a green card, you will have to apply as an international student. An SSN, in your case, is for income-tax filing purposes. It is not a green card.</p>
<p>Do note that some schools do not treat Canadians any differently from US citizens for FA purposes so you might not be disadvantaged.</p>
<p>:( Yes I did apply to many of those schools, thx</p>
