Question

Can and American citizen go to college in Canada?

Answer 1

Sure.  You just apply for a study Visa.  If the course is less than 6 months you don't need one.  The visa will basically only make sure that you have sufficient funds to cover the course and living expenses.  Then the usual stuff they would check.

Most colleges have foreign student fees, higher than the tuition Canadians pay.  So make sure to look into that.  But I think still cheaper than what you pay in the US.

Answer 2

You would need to apply for a student visa.  See site below for application information.

Answer 3

American citizens need a student authorization from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to study in Canada. Upon acceptance into a Canadian university, you may apply for your student authorization at a CIC Office in the U.S. or at any Canadian port of entry (border crossing).When applying, you must bring the following application documents:

1)a valid form of identification (e.g. passport, original birth certificate);

2)the original letter of acceptance from the Canadian educational institution; and,

3)evidence of adequate funds to cover tuition and living costs for your entire stay in Canada (this includes a letter from your bank or your parents' employers, bank statements for the past several months, and/or your parents' and your latest tax returns).

Much like American 4 year Colleges, the majority of these institutions offer undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs.
