Dual Residency?
Hello,
I’m a dual Canadian/British citizen and hold a British and Canadian passport. I was born in Canada, but my mother and brother were born there. The rest of my family still live in England. I’m currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Canada, but would like to pursue a postgrad degree in England once I’m done. However, the international fees are crazy - and there are also limited spaces for international students. I would like to be able to obtain home status, but it requires three years of ordinary residency. Is there anyway to become a UK resident to fulfil this requirement while still going to school in Canada? I don’t plan on starting my degree for another three years anyway!
Sorry if this post isn’t clear, I’ll answer any questions if needed!

Re: Dual Residency?
If you were resident in the UK up to the time you started your degree studies in Canada you might be able to argue that your time in Canada was of a temporary nature and only for the purpose of studying.

Just as note, the people you will be doing your post grad degree with will have done 2 years college in that subject before the time in the degree. Knowing people that have done this both ways, coming from UK to Canada for the study they found it easy and achieved great marks. From Canada to UK not so much.
Why not finish in Canada then move?
