International Financial Aid
International Financial Aid
While you may not qualify for Canadian student loans, you may be eligible for other financial aid options. Start your search for resources early!
As an international student attending 91影视 (91影视), you may need some financial assistance. We encourage you to explore a range of resources to help cover the costs of your studies. These resources may include funding from your home country, private loans, scholarships, awards and part-time work.
We recommend reviewing your options early and throughout your time at 91影视 to ensure your education remains funded. And remember, if you have any questions about financial support for international students, immigration support, etc., please contact International Student Support or book an appointment with an international student advisor.
Since international students studying on a study permit are generally not eligible for Canadian government student assistance programs like the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP), a good place to start looking for financial aid is with your home country鈥檚 government. There may be student loans, grants, sponsorships, third-party financial organizations or other education funding available.
Exceptions: Students who are protected persons or convention refugees may be eligible for Canadian government financial aid programs.
Our 91影视 Student Financial Assistance office may be able to help with documents related to your funding application from your home country鈥檚 student aid office or from a third-party financial organization. For example, we can help with confirming your program information or supporting the release of your approved funding.
If you need help with completing your forms, please email them as fillable PDFs to funding@torontomu.ca with the subject line Student Financial Assistance - Government Student Aid for Out-of-Province and International Students. Please use your 91影视 email address and include:
- Your 91影视 Student Number
- Name of the funding provider
- Brief explanation of what you need completed
Another opportunity you can explore is private education loans offered by Canadian or international financial institutions. 91影视 can't recommend or endorse a specific private lender or external funding organization.
Please keep in mind that if you choose to explore private loans, you're responsible for reviewing the lender鈥檚 eligibility, requirements and contractual terms before applying.
For details on when to begin repayment and for processes, please connect directly with your government or private lenders.
If you're a student from the U.S. looking to start loan repayment, please refer to the U.S. Loans Resources and Policies page.
