Further scholarship Information and Application

Education in Canada for international students

Eligibility for education in Canada:
Every
university in Canada has its own eligibility
requirements. The registrar’s office of each
university usually provides details about the
application process.

Process of application for education in
Canada:
For education in Canada, you must
apply to a program, in the university of your
choice. Once your application is accepted, you
can apply for a study permit and a visitor’s visa at
the Canadian embassy in your home country.

Cost of education in Canada:
The cost of
education in Canada depends upon the university
and the program you want to study. Tuition fees
can range from 5,500 to 17,000 Canadian dollars
for a science and general arts undergraduate
degree. Along with the tuition fees, you should
also budget for food, accommodation, books,
equipment, local transportation, clothing, health
care, laundry and amusement.
Financial assistance for education in Canada
Many Canadian universities offer scholarships to
international students for education in Canada.

The financial aid office at every university has full
information about the scholarships. You can also
get in touch with the ministry of education in
your home country to know more about
scholarships for education in Canada.

Languages
Education in Canada is conducted in two official
languages– French and English. While you don’t
need to speak both to study at a Canadian
university, you should be proficient in one
depending upon where you apply.

Accommodation
International students have the option to live on-
campus or off-campus. Students can get
information on housing from either the
international student adviser or the university’s
housing office.

Medical cover
Some provinces like British Columbia, Alberta,
and Saskatchewan provide medical insurance to
international students under their provincial health
care plans. Students studying in most of the
other provinces have to arrange for their own
medical insurance.

Job opportunities for international students
International students have the opportunity to
work on-campus (for example, at the university
library) without a work permit. Also, under the
off-campus work program of the federal
government, international students can work off-
campus for up to 20 hours a week during the
school year and full-time during study breaks.
