As we speak $6000 are being wired over to Ireland Always knew it was going to cost a lot but once you see the money leave that's when it really hits you!
I thought I'd start this thread for any Canadians who are going or thinking of going to UCD this September. It would be great to know a few people before landing in Ireland and we may be able to help each other out as we prepare for our departure.
So here's what I've done so far .
-wired over the deposit through RBC. It takes at least a few business days for the bank in Ireland to receive your money so make sure you keep this in mind so you don't miss the deadline to accept the offer.
-applied for line of credit at RBC. RBC has the professional line of credit for 150K but because I am leaving the country my parents have to co-sign (they think I'll marry an Irish or get kidnapped by a leprechaun and not return )
-as for the rest (I calculated at least another 150K but not sure if this is too much or too little ), I'm looking to take out another line of credit with my parents. My agent is trying to figure out if it will be best to have two separate lines of credits or combine to have one line of credit.
-going to look into Government grants next
That's all for now,
