The real problem maybe International Fees if not a resident, usually double the standard fee rate. This maybe waived at the Universities discretion or covered by one of many bursaries or scholarships. Grad school applications in North America usually have a Jan 31 deadline and under grad May for the fall term. There are ways around this but you will have to ask or grovel a bit;) You would also have to check if visa allows part time student work most do in Canada. I know my kid brother who did two degrees in Law in England & Scotland and had to pay International fees even though he had a UK passport but was a Canadian resident. Well my father coughed up the money. There was an advantage Law in the UK is an under grad degree unlike North America where it is a grad degree requiring 7 years (4 under grad 3 grad) . Articling for the bar in Canada presented a problem as only one province Alberta recognized UK law degrees.
