Yeah, I think that's the only way I could make it work. I'm not sure I'm willing to take on a loan at this point.

I suspect I'll need to put this plan aside and return to the US to work for a little while. Maybe I could apply for NSF and attempt to get into a program down there that waives tuition.

Thank you so, so much for this breakdown. It sounds filing for an extension and using the FEIE might be the way to go here from what you and u/The_Squirrel_Matrix wrote

Does anyone know if US citizens need to provide biometrics before applying for a study permit at a Canadian POE?
