Can a US green card holder study in Canada?

I'm a high school junior with a US green card and thinking about college in Canada. Can I apply as an international student? Also, what's the process like for green card holders to study abroad in Canada?

Yes, a US Green Card holder can definitely apply to Canadian universities as an international student. Here's a general guide to what you can expect in the process:

1. Choose your university and program: First, you'll need to decide which Canadian universities and programs you're interested in. You can look at university websites to get an idea of the programs available, as well as course structure, faculty expertise, research opportunities, etc.

2. Admissions: After narrowing down your choices, the next step is to apply. Application requirements would generally include your high school transcripts, letters of recommendation, and proof of English proficiency (usually satisfied with a TOEFL or IELTS score).

3. Study permit application: Upon acceptance into a Canadian university, you'll have to apply for a Canadian study permit. This process entails providing proof of acceptance, proof of finance to cover your studies and living costs in Canada, and a criminal record check.

4. Health check and insurance: Depending upon your country of residence, you might be required to do a health examination. Additionally, you'll need to make arrangements for health insurance. Many Canadian schools provide health insurance for international students, but the specifics can vary, so you should check with the school to see what they offer.

5. Travel and housing arrangements: Once your study permit has been approved, you can plan your travel to Canada. You'll also need to arrange for housing, whether that's on-campus dormitories or off-campus apartments.

Please do not take this as legal advice and always cross-check with the authoritative sources, in this case, the university's International Student Services or Canada's official immigration web pages for the most accurate and current information. The process might vary a little from university to university, and policies can change.
