Hello Apple community, this is a question for people who have friends/family as Apple employees or are Apple employees themself.

Currently with student discount, I see you can get about 10% off and a $150 giftcard with included while buying the new iPad in Canada. Is this the best discount/savings you can get or is the Apple Employee discount better? Can you use both discount offers or just one? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! I have a few friends that work for Apple and wanted to see what was the best course of action for myself. Thanks!

To my knowledge, there is no verification required in Canada to order on the Apple Education store online to get the discount.

However what I am not totally clear on is if I order it online but for in store pickup, will they ask me for student verification when i pick it up?

Im not really a student and just want to save the $130 but don’t want to get in trouble 😂

Thanks!

Does anyone know when the US and Canadian Apple Back to School offers will begin?

I think it began on June 5 in the US and June 23 in Canada last year. When would it start, in your opinion? I'm excited to purchase the iPad and M3 MacBook Air, and I think they come with gift cards right?

I am a university student in Canada, and I want to buy some Apple products. Can I use my student discount/student ID from Canada, travel to New Hampshire in the United States, and use my Canadian University Student ID to get the student discount in NH? I am asking this because NH is a no-tax state, and I will save $300+ CAD from tax with my current shopping bag.

Gas isn't a problem because I will go to the States for vacation anyway.

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!
