    Hey, I'll be in the US next week and I was wondering if anyone knew if I could get the apple educational discount as a Canadian student.

    I'm in the market for a new laptop, and with the strong Canadian dollar and the already discounted Macbooks in the US, I'm strongly considering buying one.

    As you can see it doesn't outright say so for higher education students (which I guess you are). They won't ship it to Canada, but if you pick it up in an actual Apple retail store I believe you'll be fine. Bring your student ID.

    I suggest you give them a phone call and ask as they might have a very specific, US-centric definition of the word "Higher Education". The number's in the link below.
    From Apple Sales and Refunds Policy (emphasis mine).
