Study abroad guide
🇨🇦 Study in Canada
Research-led universities, co-op opportunities and a large, diverse student community.
Canada may suit students seeking a wide range of research, technology, business and health programs. Compare provinces and campus cities as carefully as the university: both affect tuition, living costs, internships and career opportunities.

Study costs
National 2025/26 average international tuition: C$41,746 undergraduate; C$24,028 graduate. Budget separately for housing, food, transport and travel. Study permit applicants must show funds for tuition, living expenses and transportation.
These are national tuition averages for public degree-granting institutions, not a quote for a particular course. Tuition depends on program and province. Immigration proof-of-funds is a minimum requirement and may not reflect the full budget for your chosen city; check IRCC's current amount and your institution's fee schedule.
Always confirm the current fee for your exact program and year of entry; housing, insurance, travel and visa charges may be additional.
Student visa & work options
Most international students need a study permit and acceptance from a designated learning institution. Depending on the program and province, a provincial or territorial attestation letter may also be required. Confirm current requirements before applying.
Eligible students may work up to 24 hours per week off campus during regular academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks, subject to permit conditions and eligibility.
Some graduates of eligible institutions and programs may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). Eligibility and permit length depend on program, institution, language requirements and other rules; a Canadian admission does not guarantee a PGWP or a job.
