November 9, 2023Apple education store promo extended to Canada today!
Wow thank you for sharing this. For those who have already made an order, I am in the same boat and was able to get this applied to mine. I ordered a MBA 15 in Canada last week without this promo, but it hasn't arrived at the store yet. I just called apple and they applied the gift card to my order, will be receiving it by email shortly. Just a heads up, when talking to the digital agent tell them you have a billing issue and they will transfer you to a real person that can help. The wait time was about 5 min. This will only work if you placed your order within the last 14 days, otherwise the agent told me you'd have to return the device and reorder it. More on reddit.com

Hi everyone!
I'm a university student from Brazil and I'm traveling to Canada soon. I was wondering if it's possible to buy a MacBook using Apple Education Pricing while I'm in Canada, even though I don't study there.
When purchasing online through the Canadian Apple Education Store, I noticed that they don’t ask for any student verification upfront (no UNiDAYS or document upload). But I’m concerned about whether they verify your student status at the moment of in-store pickup or delivery.
I also read that during the Back to School period, when Apple includes a free pair of AirPods with the purchase, they tend to be stricter with verification. So I’m not sure if they might ask for proof at pickup or cancel the order.
My questions:
Has anyone ever purchased a Mac (or other device) through the education store in a country where you don’t actually study?
Do they ask for student ID, enrollment letter, or other proof when picking it up?
Has anyone had their order cancelled or rejected for this?
Would love to hear from anyone who’s been through a similar situation recently. Thanks in advance!

Planning on getting a base model Mac Mini M4 and don't want to spend $900+. So I am thinking on buying from the education store instead (Total came down to $760). But will it ask m to verify if I am a legitimate student? I know that users in the UK are having issues, but I'm Canadian.

Is there anything stopping me from selecting the education pricing when buying a Mac even though I am not enrolled at an institution? Do they ever check at any point in the process? Is this uncouth of me to ask? Thanks
