How are Canadian students paying for tuition? I got a line of credit from RBC but I don't know how to transfer the funds b/c they need to be in US. Any ideas?

Also has everyone filled out their I-20 form??

The easiest route for now is to probably purchase a US Dollar money order from RBC for the tuiton amount. I've heard of some students with a BMO line of credit transfering the money from their BMO account to a Harris Bank account (its based in Chicago and is a subsidary of BMO, so apparently it is easy to do).

Personally, i had been hoping they would accept credit card payment for tuition (just imagine all those air miles!! ) but unfortunately they don't. Looks like I'll be using a money order this time around.

Does anyone know what payment method likely carries the lowest exchange comission?

what u can do is open a US dollar account at RBC
get US cheques...write urself cheques....that way u can pay ur tuition or deposit into ur account in the US
