yusuft (Alumni) This comes up a lot for Canadian students. From what I found XUSOM is not on RBC's approved list for student lines of credit. Verify directly with RBC since these lists update.
ewilson (Student) yusuft makes a fair point but my experience was a bit different. The Canadian bank lists for Caribbean schools are inconsistent. RBC, TD, and Scotiabank all have slightly different criteria. Worth calling each one directly rather than assuming.
michelleboodram (Student) Some Canadian students at XUSOM have gone through private lenders or used US federal loans if they hold a green card. Worth talking to the financial aid office to understand your options.
jessicac (Alumni) Title IV federal loan eligibility for US students is more straightforward to verify. For Canadian students the path is less clear and depends on citizenship and residency status.
bettyd (Student) I know someone who got funding through Scotiabank for their Caribbean school costs. It wasn't easy and required a cosigner. XUSOM's situation may differ so get current info from the school directly.
jennifer.adams (Student) The school's financial aid office should be able to tell you which Canadian lenders have worked with XUSOM students in the past. That's your starting point rather than going to the bank cold.
