rogerroger Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 The RBC is apparently pretty popular with med students going overseas. But you will need a good credit rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susieQ Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Congratulations radhika on getting accepted into Cambridge! As for the loans, I would suggest RBC as well. They offer up to CDN$150,000 in professional loans to students studying medicine, in Canada or abroad. However, are you a Canadian citizen? You said you are a resident, but do you hold a Canadian passport? If not, I'm not sure how the RBC loan works for international students. Also, if you are planning to go to Cambridge and have no plans to return to Canada, are you a UK citizen? As an international student at a UK med school, you are pretty much agreeing to only study there and then return to your country of citizenship to practice. It is actually very difficult for non-UK medical graduates to obtain residency or further posts in the UK. I don't know much about the process to stay in the UK as a doctor though - I'm a Canadian grad going to King's College London for med come September and I intend to return to Canada for residency (fingers crossed =P).
