				question for canadians

				do any of you know how easy it would be for an american to go to college in canada and live there, become a resident.  i know the process is super shitty for a canadian coming to america, but since canada owns i thought it might be easier the other way.  any help of where i can even start searching is much appreciated.  thx.

				i don't think it is super hard, you don't need to take canadian history or anything, as far as i know you just apply and if you get accepted your in, but i'm just starting my college career next year and i don't know how it works forsure

				I have been wondering this as well. I looked into it a while ago. And for me it said I'd need to apply for a work visa to work there. That's as far as i got.

				I don't think it's hard if you're a student .. you have to get some sort of student visa thing I believe ... if you just want to move here to work, I think it's harder .. but students definitely have it easier

				well at first i'd like to move there as a student, eventually gaining residency.  maybe it's different if you live with family.  i will have to ask.

				I go to U of T at Scarborough.  Half the students in my first year Sociology class were not from Canada..............I thought that was really cool.
I'm assuming it is pretty easy..........though the actual process I'm not sure of.  I'm too lazy to find out for you..........

				you need to actually write SAT's for sure 

but other than that.. you need to get a student visa and get into a school etc.. as for living here.. last i heard they some what tightened up those regulations.. in order to be considered a resident i mean.. cuz lots of kids would come over from india for the comp sci stuff and just .. well.. not leave.. so yeah.. 
they'd do it all legally tho
there was a loophole in the system that they took advantage of

  my chemistry teacher said a ton of columbians and people from around there were in his university programs... then after second year when they learned how to make cocaine his class sizes dropped by as many as 90 kids and a lot of them vanished from the country.

				I'm pretty sure its really easy to get a student visa. At the uni/college here, i think we advertise for students in asia. They love exchange students. I don't know if you'd have to pay more for tuition or anything.

				You do pay more, but it's not nearly as much as it is to go to the same calibre of school in the states.

				the differences in prices can be staggering.. 

here at U of Sask, one of the guys in my suite is from Indonesia and he's payin some $10,000 per year or something and im paying about 3,000 for tuition.. 
then again.. in state fees vs out of state fees in florida can get as high as 10x or something ridulous as that
edited to make more sense
thanks to melissa for pointing that out
