is available to me? I live in the UK and I'm planning on doing my A-levels for the next two years but once I'm done I'd like to study in Canada at MUN. According to the site the fee for an international student is approx. $16,000, so about £10,000 a year. This includes accommodation and meals. I won't have anywhere near that sort of money available to me even in 2 years just from part time work etc and yet it says to qualify for a study permit, I need to have evidence I can pay my tuition fees. To me that seems a little harsh, surely there is some sort of financial aid I can get assuming I get accepted in? like a student loan or something. Would I even qualify for it, being an international student? Would I be expected to pay anything up front or have a certain sum of money already? I know I'm expected to show that I have money to look after myself as well in order to get the visa, but wouldn't that fall into the boundaries of a student loan and part-time work I'd get whilst there? Surely if I have enough for the trip and to take care of myself for a short period, that would be enough. Then I can get a student loan to pay for tuition fees. Having evidence PRIOR to actually getting a loan would seem a little bit unreasonable.
I'd just like someone to shed a little bit of light on the whole process. I absolutely want to get out there to study, my best friend lives out there and it's the change of pace and lifestyle I want. It's just quite intimidating at this point because it appears to be a very complicated procedure.
Any info about moving over there to study, living expenses and other costs as well as info on visas and what have you would be greatly appreciated.
Alternatively, any information on citizenship and moving to Canada would be lovely.
Thanks in advance!
