Jochi1543 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Yeah, you just need an address here (so a lease, utility bills, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewfieMike Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 looking for a roomate actually, if you were just renting a room, you technically wouldn't have your name on a lease. I wonder if that matters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that matters? Well, if you were a grad student in a lab in Alberta, that serves as pretty good evidence of you being in AB...lol.

I guess however you could be there for 9 months and go home for the summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 For some reason, the schools differentiate between being a student IP and living IP. I'm sure there's some logic behind their definition of residency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, sounds different from what I had seen when I last looked at it (a good 2 years ago, if not more), I don't recall any sort of distinction between the student vs. non-student status, it was 12 months either way, IIRC. Sounds like you should ask them directly to clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star1234 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I don't know about Alberta but I know to get Quebec residency, you have to have lived in Quebec for 12 months as a PART TIME student or less......meaning that if you are a full time student and lived in Quebec for 4 years, that doesn't count. So maybe in Alberta it's that if you are a full time student, you have to have lived in Alberta for 2 years, but if you are just there working, then it's 12 months? Just a thought.

squeezboks Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 It depends on your permanent residence. If you pay vehicle insurance in xprovince, pay taxes in x province, etc. you are resident of your x province. Just look at the province on your driver's license or license plate on your vehicle and that will tell you whether you are a resident of the province or a student studying that province. The above is unofficial but is correct as far as I am aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
