Madz25 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 nope, no osap as far as i know. i dont think osap applies for programs outside of ontario/canada. bank loans are the way to go or help from your parents. this topic has been discussed many times in the past. i suggest you look through older threads or use the search function.

KennethToronto Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Actually, you are eligible for student loans from OSAP, but only from the "federal" portion (which translates into a paltry $8.5k/year). You should verify directly with the OSAP student loans office though (something I have yet to do) Students attending an out-of-province postsecondary institution only: Student Support Branch, Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. This office can be reached at: Student Support Branch Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities PO Box 4500 189 Red River Road, 4th Floor Thunder Bay, ON P7B 6G9 Telephone:(807) 343-7260 Telephone Device for the Deaf (TDD/TY): 1-800-465-3958 Fax: (807) 343-7278 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madz25 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 does out-of-province include the US?...i didnt think it did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennethToronto Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 does out-of-province include the US?...i didnt think it did... I was skeptical as well, but I have a friend studying in the Caribbean who was able to obtain OSAP (again, maxed out at around $8.5k/yr). Moreover, having perused through the OSAP website, performing a quick school search for your favourite not-in-Canada institution (I used Dartmouth) will show that it is approved for the "Canada portion of the Canada-Ontario Integrated Student Loan". Anyways, it's best to call OSAP directly to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
