I went through the mailing list but I could not find a precise answer
for my concern.
I am an Iranian (Citizen of Iran) and I am now a PhD student in Canada
on my study permit. I have also a work permit which lets me work in
Canada. Am I eligible to apply for Google Summer of Code 2009? Notice
that I am not neither a citizen nor permanent resident of Canada.

# Who's not eligible to participate as a student in Google Summer of
Code?

Google employees, interns, contractors, family members, or residents
and nationals of Iran, Syria, Cuba, Sudan, North Korea and Myanmar
(Burma), with whom we are prohibited by U.S. law from engaging in
commerce, are ineligible to participate. Mentoring organizations that
are taking part in Google Summer of Code may add additional
stipulations regarding which students may participate in the program
under their auspices. Please see our Program Terms of Service for
additional stipulations and requirements.

Note "residents or nationals of Iran" are not eligible.

Sorry, it's a political thing forced on Google by the US gov.

Please don't respond to questions if you don't know the answer. There
are thousands of people on this list, if you don't know somebody else
will answer.
