As an international student in Canada, how much income tax can i get back?
I have a work permit at the moment and i'm doing an internship which is a part of my University Degree, so i'm still enrolled as a full time student but i'm actually working full time, 40 hrs a week making around $45k a year (before income tax deduction). I started working in May 08. Is it true that I can get all of it back when i file for taxes this year?? That would be so cool...

I dont think so. The CRA only requires that you are a resident, not a citizen in order to be responsible for taxes. You can call the CRA annonymously to find out.
2 :
As a non-resident, you are taxed in Canada on your Canada-sourced income. You need to file a tax return here. However, you may be able to take a Foreign Tax Credit on the tax return of your country of origin for the tax paid here. You don't say where else you pay taxes. Also, the fact that you started working half way through the year means it's likely that too much payroll taxes have been withheld, so you probably will get a partial refund.

No one can answer that question "exactly" without details. If you are medical student going for your PhD. If so, you'll get a work permit as part of your medical internship program and there will almost certainly be a job waiting for you. If you are an unskilled person barely able to speak French or English, then your chances of finding a job and getting a work permit are pretty much zero. What skills do you have? What type of work experience to you have? Which university are you studying at? How is your English or French? Are you looking for work over the summer or part time work while going to university? Does your university program have a coop (which accepts foreign students) or does it have some type of work study program? Is this a graduate program or undergraduate program (can you work for a professor in say research)? Are you looking for reasonable pay or merely work experience (i.e. go work for a charity?) Have you lived in the area before? Do you have family or friends to help you source jobs? How much time do you have to look for a job, etc. In terms of getting a work visa while you are student, it fairly easy if the job is related to your school work, if it is on campus (many jobs there don't even require a visa), or if you have a valid job offer. In terms of finding a job... that comes down to your skills, training, experience, where you are, the type of job, etc.

Usually a student is allowed to work around 20 hours a week while on a student visa. Difficulty in finding one depends on which city/town your university is in. Most succeed providing their English (or French) is intelligible.

I'm an engineering student in Egypt, and I want to emigrate to Canada as a refugee...?
I'm an engineering student in Egypt, and I want to emigrate to Canada as a refugee...?
I want to continue my studies there, what shall I do? I heard that they would provide me a caregiver, and find me a job to live there. Would Canada support me as a student refugee there? Until I become a resident or a citizen?

Refugee from what? Canada's refugee system is not geared to people who just want to go to school, it is aimed at those who are fleeing persecution or war. You do not appear to qualify. Go to your closest Canadian Embassy, they can provide you with information on eligibility for a student visa. But as a student, you will be expected to support yourself while in Canada. Even refugees do not receive government support to go to school, any more than Canadian citizens do. All the refugee system will do is give you income support until you have a job.
2 :
If you have financial problems, claiming as a refugee isnt going to work because you will have to pay the govt back eventually. Instead, since you have the education, apply as a skilled worker in MB or Sask. These provinces offer free provincal enterance, and if youhave friends or family here that can give you a hand, even better. If you are jewish, see the Jewish federation, they can support you. Check out their websites. Maybe this would be an other option instead of claiming as a refugee www.immigrationmanitoba.ca www.immigration.gov.sk.ca and further info, if still liking the refugee idea, ry: ww.cic.gc.ca

What financial aid is available to a US student studying in Canada?
What financial aid is available to a US student studying in Canada?
Is aid available via US federal aid (i.e. FAFSA), and/or is aid available from Canadian sources?

You don't need financial aid! Coming from the States where they charge you an arm and leg for some college education, Canadian tuitions should be mere pocket change! Sure we don't boast any top of the line institutions like Harvard or Yale, but you wouldn't have made it to those schools anways, right? :)
2 :
There are over 100 schools in Canada that participate in the US Federal Student Aid Program (so you, as a US Citizen or US Permanent Resident can receive US financial aid to attend). To find out which ones participate, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and select "Search for school codes" under the #1 column. After selecting the 2008-09 year and that you are "searching" rather than "verifying", select "Canada" for the first drop-down box "What state is the school in?" (I know Canada isn't a state, but that's how you'll get your info...) Good Luck!

Absolutely! Most Canadian universities and many Canadian colleges are approved by the U.S. Department of Education making students eligible for the U.S. Stafford Loan and their parents eligible for the Parents PLUS loan. The list of all regonized Canadian schools can be found via a link on the "Finding Your School" page in the website below. The website will also provide you with all the information you need to transition to a postsecondary education in Canada. The information includes the differences between the U.S. and Canadian educational systems, how to complete the FAFSA, how to search for your school of choice (by province, region or program of study), the documentation you need, what you need to join the student work program if you want a job while studying, and even a suggested packing list! If you have any questions along the way, they answer almost immediately when you complete the Feedback form. Happy exploring!

Studying in CANADA! Is it recommended for American college student to study in Canada ?
Also, will a canadian degree be valid in the USA when you are looking for a job? I want to attend an accredited school abroad and Canada fits my needs and then apply for a medical school in the USA, is it possible? Please help! Thanks.

Yes, it is entirely possible. Canadian schools, though not well-known in the U.S. are certainly valid as they meet any standards you will need. Medical schools in the U.S. would certainly accept a degree from a Canadian school. You would still need to write the MCAT and have good marks but it shouldn't be a hurdle to study in Canada. As an FYI, Canadian medical schools are quite good as well, and generally as a whole rank higher than those in the U.S. because SOME of the American schools are sub-standard, whereas the relatively few in number in Canada are all held to high standards. This is a major reason why American hospitals try to recruit Canadian-trained doctors - the know they will be up to standards. Furthermore, education is subsidized in Canada and, while Canadians clearly get the majority of the benefits, international students would still pay a tuition at medical schools that is FAR below those of American schools (Univeristy of Toronto medical school, which is the largest in North America, has a tuition for Canadians of less than $20,000 per year. Although it may be more for an international student, it would not be anywhere near the $50,000 tuition seen at some American schools). Your undergrad will be cheaper as well. Hope this helps
