Help me british national may have to pay international fees

In order for you to be considered for this cat., you'd need your grandparents to live elsewhere in the EU for three years I think.

"and your relevant family member has been ordinarily resident in the EEA and/or Switzerland and/or the overseas territories for the three years before the 'first day of the first academic year of the course' that you are studying."

I'm assuming that it excludes the UK as part of the EEA though

This why you shouldn't move countries if you plan on coming back to study.

England is becoming more strict on this and immigration etc. Just have a look at the EU referendum.

err no those have been the rules for a long time. Not sure telling him he shouldnt have moved countries helps the OP, nire did he appear to have had much choice.

I dont think he qualifes as a relevant family member.

I don't understand the category though- it's labelled under EU nationals though in this case no-one (not the applicant neither the family member) would be an EU national!
I agree the best thing to do would be to contact SFE or UKCISA to be absolutely sure whether you'd qualify or not

Thats just for the definition. he is classed as an EU or UK national based on his passport. He's not a resident though. I believe he was trying to claim via his grandparents. The OP appears to have given up a long time ago and I'm going to sleep now.

Which of these categories are you claiming to fall into?

Yes look under the definition I am a relevant family member

You would have to prove that you are DEPENDENT on your grandparents for that category to apply.

If you can prove that your time in Canada was temporary then you might be able to claim home fees and student support.

If you're classed as an EU national based on your grandparents then you would not be eligible for student finance for living costs only for tuition fees.

If you're a UK national then just move back to the UK for a year while you apply for your course - that will show you to be independent of your parents and make your time in Canada temporary.

Wait I though I said I accepted it lol it seems to be harder than I thought

Thank you for all your help guys and special thanks to PQ. I just got a response from a few unis and I've been told I qualify for home fees by UKCISA and I have also been told that I don't when my grandad called. Essentially, an admissions tutor contacted on my behalf and he got back to me saying it's likely I qualify under a new regulation starting this year. But, my grandad phoned yesterday and I was told I don't.
