Hi,
I am a permanent resident of Ontario. I did a temporary landing (2 months) to get done with PR formalities in Jan 13.
I have secured a phd position in Uni of Montreal and I am moving to Montreal permanently in Sep 2013. I have the following questions, it would be great to have suggestions and feedback
1) Currently I am eligible for the non Quebec resident fee at Uni of Montreal which is twice as compared to Quebec residents (10,000 vs 5000/year). To come on the Quebec resident fee status I have to fulfill the govt requirements before I enroll in full time studies. I came across different scenarios which can help u apply for resident status .. the website is of concordia university. I need to know if these requirements are of the govt or of Concordia University.

This is whats given on the above mentioned link (for details visit the URL ) Situation 8 - Since Immigrating to Canada, the student has resided more than 3 months in Quebec and less than 3 months in another Province or Territory. (This situation is not for students born in Canada)
If these are the govt requirements I should start living in Quebec atleast 3 months before I apply for Quebec fee status and enroll in full time studies.
2) Irrespective of the fact that I am eligible for Quebec or non Quebec resident fee status, I know I am not eligible for state student loans and scholarships since I read that you have to live there for a year to be eligible. Therefore, I need to know if there are legit possibilities to get student loans from private banks ..and heres the catch “with a US cosigner” or "without a cosigner"..I do not have any co signer in Canada and cant find people to lend the favor..
It would be great to have some feedback about this extensive query.
