Hello,
Yes, I have told you a bit in your welcome post.
You can study with GIA by long distance study. Now, you do it mostly with the internet. They are based in New York but have other place to go for full time or the practiacl courses or the final exams. You have to check, but you can go to Toronto or New York for the parts that you have to be in a physical local.
And you can study with Gem-A by long distance and to the practical parts and exams in Montreal. Well that is how I understand it.
GIA is really well know by people of our province. My father was one of their first student in Quebec province about 55-60 years ago. Most of the gemmologists that I know or I have heard of arounf here have studied with GIA, not GEM-A. But, I do not think that Gem-A is offering the Montreal site for a long time. Well they were not around when I was more in contact with that world 20-30 years ago. So my information on when they arrive are my reasoning.
