Loans for Out of Province(Alberta) Student

[GoldenRetrieved]

I believe I've seen an answer for this online but I'd like to confirm.

For a student going to school out of province (Alberta to Ontario), which loan should I be applying for, OSAP or the Alberta one?

Your original province of residence is where you apply for them.

If you're an RBC banking client, they offer a personal line of credit for law students of 120,000 a year at prime. Might be another option to look into!

All the big banks offer a PSLOC package for law students, although Scotia is one of the most popular. Credit unions may offer it, but IIRC they won't be able to offer the same amount or as good benefits. Many law students get a combination - student loans and a PSLOC to cover what the student loans may not.

I think TD offers $150K @prime. (Offers med students 350K@ prime-1/4…not sure why the better rate).

I believe they are subsidized due to the Canadian shortage of doctors. Just speculation though
