Residents of other Canadian provinces: Students who are Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or protected persons may be eligible for financial assistance from their provincial or territorial governments. You can visit this Enrolment Services page on how UofT could be involved in your application process with your provincial/territorial governments.

Fee Deferrals – students who have applied for OSAP, other provinces’ loans and grants, and US Direct Loans may be eligible to request a tuition fee deferral. A successful tuition fee deferral registers you for the academic year without needing to make payment immediately AND extends your deadline for paying your outstanding ACORN fees.
