[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but curious about the French language requirement.  My kids have dual citizenship (born/raised in US) and are learning Spanish.  In a few years, they'll be applying to universities and I think it would be great if they looked at Canadian universities as well.

I'm unclear if it's better, acceptance-wise, for them to apply as Canadians or Americans. (And $$-wise).

And now as a secondary concern, for McGill (and who else?), I wonder if the French language requirement, as stated above, only for Canadians, right?--would mean that they should apply as Americans.  Any thoughts on this would be helpful (and might inform OP as well).

My kids also have dual citizenship. We looked into it this year as DS was applying to colleges. Because DS is a citizen of Canada, even though he is a US resident, he would get the cheaper CA tuition -- about $6500 in tuition to go to UBC (I didn't check the other universities since DH is a Vancouverite).  DS decided instead to spend $40k more per year to go to a top 20 us university - ugh. Have you done all of the paperwork to get your kids' citizenship documents?  It took some time and a trip to the Canada Embassy in DC to get everything done. [/quote]
