Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and questions with us.
If you have not already, you may want to look into some information on getting your credentials evaluated. You can find some information in our Settlement.Org Where can I get my international credentials evaluated for education? article.
You may also want to contact the university you are interested in attending to find out what type of admission criteria they have.
In terms of what type of financial assistance is available, you can find some information in our Settlement.Org What kinds of financial help can I get for my education? and Who is eligible for the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP)? articles.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
