Hello! My name is Robert. I am a U.S. citizen.

Right now I am in the process of applying to a graduate program in
Canada. If accepted I will receive full tuition and financial assistance
from the U.S. government to study in Canada at the school of my choice.
This aid will fully satisfy my tuition expenses as well as my room and
board.

However, I am not too sure if I can use an American financial aid
program as proof that I am income eligible to enter Canada on a study
permit. The program's tuition is $8K a year, I will be receiving at least
$11K for one academic year.

Can I use my tutition assistance as part of my income to prove that I am
eligible for a study permit?

If you can document it that would do for part of the funds you will need to
study in Canada.

Thank you so much, John. I really appreciate the advice.

By the way, I posted another thread. Something idiotic I really done when
applying for Permanent Residency in Canada. You'll definitely laugh. It's
title "Unsigned Residency Application".

Take care and thanks!!!

Is it possible I could file a study permit at a Canadian Consulate of my
choice?

My local Canadian consulates are in Buffalo and New York City, but I really
do not want to deal with either one of these consulates because both offices
are always busy. I was looking to file either at the Detroit or Seattle
consulates. Would this be possible given my geographic location?
