tooty Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Let there be no dispute about this. You CAN be a student while you are living in Alberta for 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes of the term for which admissions is sought. 2013/2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePT216 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Wait, so you can be doing undergad/master's? And you don't have to be working for a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trojjanhorse Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Wait, so you can be doing undergad/master's? And you don't have to be working for a year? yes. You could even NOT work there while staying as a resident for 12 months. Thanks for making this Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfielder Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hey guys, I just moved to Alberta two weeks ago. I was wondering if I would be able to claim in-province status when I apply to the Albertan medical schools? Also how will I be able to verify this? Can I just put my address and stuff down. Im afraid it might take a while for me to convert my health card and license. Thanksssss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zunik Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 http://premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60574 I was wondering about this as well. So what specific date would be the last date to qualify for IP? Also, what sort of documents would be required as proof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooty Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hey guys, I just moved to Alberta two weeks ago. I was wondering if I would be able to claim in-province status when I apply to the Albertan medical schools? yes Also how will I be able to verify this? they'll ask for proof if they're suspicious, but often they can tell if you have settled in AB by your whole application. Can I just put my address and stuff down. yes both address and stuff. Im afraid it might take a while for me to convert my health card and license. they don't care about those. Thanksssss . .

trojjanhorse Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 How would they be able to determine if you're IP from the application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewfieMike Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 if your application says you're working, in school, or involved in any volunteering, clubs, sports teams within the province of Alberta, with verifiers for all of this, that's how they'll know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karthika Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Does this apply to Non resident Canadians too? My daughter is studying in American school in Saudi. She left calgary after 6th grade. She wants to pursue her studies in Medicine in Canada (one of the options is in Alberta province either in Calgary or Edmonton). Thanks, K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shady Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Wow, parents are now scouting this forum for med school advice for their kids. Makes you wander, who wants it more, the applicant or their parents! To answer your question, it applies to Canadian citizens and permanent residents who can fulfill any one of the listed criteria. For example, if your daughter is a Canadian citizen, she can move to Alberta and live there for the 12 consecutive months immediately prior to the start of classes and apply as an Alberta resident. EDIT: At least that's how I understand it. You probably should check with the admissions office before you make any big move just to be sure.

BAMFtastic Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Weird. I never noticed the NWT at the bottom of this page. It hasn't hindered me thus far, but my father lives in NWT and that is techincally my only permanent residence ATM. However, my life has been essentially exclusive to NFLD so I am assuming to claim IP form NWT would be a hassle and a difficult battle to sway in my favor. Perhaps I'll be fine without it (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may look suspicious if you are claiming to be IP in NWT but all your schooling, volunteering, working is back east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did work over this past summer at my father's clinic in NWT, but I would rather keep my residency as is and let the cards fall as they will. If it comes to it, and I need to re-apply next year, I'll consider it. I don't need to be putting up any red flags on my application. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuffy1 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I got rejected after full file review (OOP) and had been thinking of moving to AB for a year as I'm done school in April. Given those rejected here with IP with good stats, not sure if this is worth it. Do many people just move to different areas in order to gain IP status somewhere? Also, how likely would an interview be GPA 4.0, VB 10, Master's, tons of EC as I am non-trad and older (volunteering- several hospitals, school clubs, tutoring, research assistant at hospital, poster etc.). I'm just concerned given the quality of IP rejects that it really would not change much and am also feeling deflated and hopeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You likely got a full review last year and it was the non-academic portion that got your application rejected. I am OOP with a similar application to yours and I have an interview this year. I would suggest reconsidering your references and how you address the faculty. I see no objective problems with your application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andrea55 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I am not sure if the answer has already been posted but I can't seem to find it. I am applying next application cycle. If I am unsuccessful, I am considering a move to Calgary to gain in province status for U of C. So I just wanted to ensure I understand correctly. If I moved to Calgary in July or August- does that make me in province for that current application cycle (as I would be living in Calgary from that time until the time of matriculation)? that is the way that I understand it. As long as I live in Alberta from the July or August prior to the date of anticipated matriculation right? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
