Just looking to see if how the other Americans' experience are with this process... I'm very new to the process and I've only just begun. I applied to Dalhousie of Halifax, Nova Scotia on Thursday, March 6th, and have started the waiting process. I'm eagerly waiting to get a response as I feel...

Thanks for the speedy answers. Any other input from others is appreciated.

So I should probably just fill out everything I can in my Study Permit, get all the documents scanned/etc, and once I have my letter of admission and loan approval letter, I can quickly scan those and send them off ASAP? Because just thinking at the 10-12 week processing is starting to scare me...

Also, if I apply for Study Permit online, does the 10 week waiting period apply for the LA location? I assume it's still going to LA (or New York) and will take the same length of time? I thought maybe if it's online, the processing time would be shorter.

Thank you. I've been doing a lot of math to figure out how much I could get from the FAFSA (I'm happy that my school falls under the program for Americans to do FAFSA through them and are eligible for Stafford and Federal Pell Grants, atleast that's what I've been seeing). I filled out the...

I've finally have gotten my transcripts sent off and have applied to the University of choice, (Halifax's Dalhousie University). I am not sure how long it's going to take for an acceptance or refusal, but in the process I have been researching how much I will need to take out in loans. Once I...

Wouldn't getting more loans, Scholarships/grants (that I would get after the first year) suffice?

Thank you. I've only been able to save up 10,000 on my own working a dead-end retail job. It really sucks how low the federal minimum wage is! I've looked into the program I want to do, and it looks like it's going to cost quite a bit per year. I'm estimating 32-35k a year. Yikes! But I hear...

Is there an entry-level forum for those just starting out on the process of applying for loans, universities/colleges, and study permits? I'm massively overwhelmed and would love to find some insight as to how others are working on this process because I don't want to clutter this forum with my...

Study permit is pretty much the only way I can go after researching hours today. there's no way for me to get a job with 3 years retail experience in the US...

US citizen. I already looked at that page and concluded I wasn't eligible already... just another dead end.

I am under the impression I have to be a student first and have graduated before I can do anything with IEC, though. I haven't even gotten accepted to a school because I have only saved up very little...

There's no way to get a job a skilled worker, because all I can get are low-end jobs like retail in the US. I need to go back to school, and I would love to do it in Canada so I'm atleast where I want to be for a little while...

25. I have had horrible luck with the economy in the united states. only have had one job and it is for 3 years in retail. :( And my associates degree is for something I no longer want to do.

I have been on the verge of ripping my hair out at the frustration it's taken on me trying to find the best route for me to eventually move to Canada. It's either work or study. Well for work, I don't have the experience, and for some reason, everyone is yelling at me that it's impossible for me...
