Alberta Student Loan in Canada?
My parents and I live in Alberta but I’d like to go to University in Quebec. How can I find out if I’m eligible for a student loan, and if it would qualify for me out of province?
You first check the Alberta student loan website and see if the school in Quebec is approved for Alberta student loans. If it is, then you just apply — although you may have to do a paper app instead of an online one because the school is out of province.
If the school in Quebec is not approved for Alberta student loans, you can contact them and ask them to assist you in getting them approved for Alberta student loans. If they are already approved for Quebec student loans, then the approval process does not take that long. Just make sure that you get them approved before you apply because many provinces will not fund if the school has not been approved BEFORE you make your application for funding.
If you cannot get Alberta student loans you would still be eligible for the federal portion of the loan but it isn’t very much — about $250/week.
