Applying to Oxford on American or Canadian Passport


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am a dual citizen of the US and Canada and hold passports to both countries. I am a resident of the US. In the Oxford application, you are asked to put the passport number of the passport on which you will get your visa.

I was wondering if there are pros and cons of applying on an American or Canadian passport to the UK (cost, acceptance, etc.). Can I even use my Canadian passport if I am a resident of the US?

Thanks!

There are almost no differences between a Canadian applying to a UK school and an American applying to a UK school. Canadian and the UK are part of the Commonwealth but that does not make a difference in terms of cost and acceptance rate etc. 

The small difference exists because of scholarships that are either specifically for US or Canadian citizens to study in the UK. Usually these are scholarships provided by US or Canadian organizations rather than the UK school though. You would have to look up each of these scholarships individually to determine if you are eligible to apply for them (i.e. some of them only require you to be a Canadian or US citizen, but others require things like a degree from that country and/or residency).
