WHY CHOOSE CANADA TO STUDY?

First and foremost Canada is the best place to live in the world and the country is known for its kind nature and safer environment. It is very easy to get residency and become a Canadian citizen fairly smoothly and quickly after finishing good education in Canada. McGill University and University of Toronto are the two most world famous universities in Canada. Being a developed country with a high-income economy, Canada will be a good choice for study.

Our experienced team will be able to guide you in choosing and selecting universities in Canada as well as settling in Canada with your entire family. We can help you in getting jobs, buying houses and businesses although there will be extra cost for these services.

 

The second biggest country in the world is renowned for its academic excellence making it the first choice of thousands of international students each year. The majority of courses are taught in English – another draw for those who want to broaden their horizons without having to learn a new language.

Canada is consistently voted as one of the safest places to live and its multi-cultural society is known to be warm and welcoming. Made up of ten provinces and three territories most of the country’s population live within a hundred miles of the U.S boarder due to the harsh climate in the north.

Well known for its natural beauty, Canada has a whole host of sights to tick off your bucket list while you’re there. In your study free hours you could visit Niagara Falls – one of Canada’s most famous attractions, Banff National Park and the Rocky Mountains, the CN Tower (Toronto), Old Quebec – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Parliament Hill (Ottawa) or Vancouver Island to name a few.

Universities in Canada

In Canada each province and territory is in charge of its own education system meaning that there may be differences in the operation and structure of these systems depending on where you choose to study.

There are over 100 public and private universities in the country as well as a number of colleges and vocational schools. Universities offer more than 15,000 programmes at all levels of study from undergraduate and postgraduate courses to PhDs.

A total of 28 Canadian universities feature in the QS World University Rankings 2022, with three making the top 50:

  • University of Toronto (26th)
  • University of British Columbia (46th)
  • McGill University (84th)

For most universities the academic year runs through September until the end of April/early May. The year is split into two terms: September to December and January to April.

Degree courses in Canada

Available in a range of subject’s Bachelor or undergraduate degrees typically last three or four years depending on your course and institution.

A Canadian Bachelors degree is globally recognised and equivalent to undergraduate programmes in countries such as the USA and UK.

Each university in Canada has its own criteria for admissions so check that you have what you need with your preferred institutions before applying.

Masters degrees

Otherwise known as ‘grad’ programmes, Masters degrees typically involve one to three years’ full-time study, although course length will vary considerably depending on discipline.

Alongside traditional lectures and assignments, you’ll take part in interactive learning, which is likely to involve site visits, placements and group work. The majority of Masters programmes also include a heavily weighted dissertation.

For admission onto a programme you’ll usually need a degree in a relevant subject at undergraduate level.

PhDs

A Doctoral degree, or PhD, requires two to three years’ full-time study to complete, although a longer period of focused research and writing to complete the Doctoral thesis is usually required of candidates.

A PhD completed in a Canadian institution is regarded as equivalent to one obtained in the UK.

Student exchanges

Canada does not have a centralised exchange programme, but many UK degree courses – both undergraduate and postgraduate – offer the chance to partake in an international exchange arranged between universities via an agreement. Check with your university department to see if they have links with any Canadian institutions.

Course Fees

Studying in Canada is generally cheaper than it would be in other English-speaking countries such as the USA, UK or Australia; however, fees vary between courses and institutions.

According to EduCandada undergraduate fees in Canada range from CAD$1,500 (£869) to CAD$20,000 (£11,590) while a Masters will set you back between CAD$2,500 (£1,448) and CAD$18,000 (£10,431). A PhD can cost between CAD$2,500 and CAD$17,000 (£9,851). EduCanada estimates that you’ll need CAD$12,000 (£6,954) a year for living expenses.

You also need to factor in additional study costs such as administration fees from CAD$150 to $500 (£86 to £289), health insurance roughly CAD$600 (£347) and international student application fees not required by all institutions, but around CAD$250 (£144) for those that do.

Funding to study in Canada

International students are not eligible for the same public funding as Canadian graduates, but don’t worry – there are a number of funding options available for non-native students.

It’s a good idea to contact your chosen university to ask what bursaries or funding they offer.

For an up-to-date list of scholarship options for non-Canadian students, see the Government of Canada’s International Scholarship Opportunities.

International students are allowed to work during their studies and the income from this could help with your living expenses or fees. However, certain rules and restrictions apply so make sure you understand these and check what your study permit/visa allows.

Student Visas

British students who wish to study in Canada need to:

  • qualify as a fully vaccinated traveller
  • obtain a study permit.

Before you apply for you study permit you’ll need a letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution and a valid passport. You can apply for a permit online or from the Canadian embassy in your home country. It can take up to three months to get a permit so apply as soon as you have your letter of acceptance from your university. Paper applications are accepted; however, these will take much longer to process.

In order to qualify for a permit, you must present:

  • a letter of unconditional acceptance from your institution
  • proof of sufficient funds, including a purchased ticket home
  • proof that you are a law-abiding citizen and are in good health.

You may also need to give your fingerprints and photographs (biometrics) when applying for study permit.

Your study permit isn’t a visa. If your permit is approved you’ll be issued with either a visitor visa or an electronic travel authorisation – this is what allows you to enter Canada.

Learn more about study permits at Government of Canada – Prepare to study in Canada.

Higher Education Structure in Canada

The province and territory in Canada are responsible for all levels of education, including higher education. Canada does not have a federal or country-wide education system; provincial and territorial regulations keep education standards high.

Academic Year

Universities, colleges, and polytechnic institutes make up the Canadian higher education system. Canadian universities offer bachelor’s degree programs, while colleges and polytechnic institutes offer shorter, career-focused programs that may not include bachelor’s degrees.

Colleges and universities in Canada generally follow a two-semester system, with the first semester beginning in September, ending in December, the second semester beginning in January, and ending in April or May.

A bachelor’s degree usually takes four years to complete in Canada, but some students may be able to complete it in three.

Grading System

The university grading scale is the measure of a student’s level of academic achievement during their degree. The grading scale determines whether students will be awarded a degree at the end of their studies, how well they achieved academically, and whether or not they will be permitted to continue postgraduate studies.

International students are assessed against a university grading system to determine if they are qualified for admission to a university course by the university grading system. This is especially true when transferring from one university to another or applying for foreign study using high school results from another country.

GPA scores in Canada are usually based on a scale of 4.0; however, in certain states, they can be as high as 9.0; this is usually the case in Ontario. A letter grade of B or a GPA of at least 2.67 is required for international students to be admitted.

How to apply

There is no centralised application system in Canada meaning you’ll need to apply to each institution directly. You need to make sure that your chosen institution is a Designated Learning Institute, as these are the only ones approved to take international students.

In addition to proving you speak the language you’ll also need to provide evidence of sufficient funds.

Language requirements

Canada is officially a bilingual country, comprising of English and French speakers. You won’t need to be fluent in both languages to study in Canada, as Quebec is the only French-speaking province. Fluency in English will be enough to navigate your way around all other provinces, although in many you will hear both languages and most have at least one French-speaking institution.

Upon entering the country you may be required to take an accredited language test to demonstrate your proficiency in English. The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is an approved test for all Canadian institutions.

For more information on French language testing, and testing for those with additional needs, visit Languages Canada.

After graduation
  • The Government of Canada allows international students who are graduates of Canadian universities to stay in country and work after graduation. There is also the possibility of immigrating to Canada after completing your program.
  • For more information on applying for a postgraduate work permit and immigration advising offered by ExpoTech BD Limited.

Books and Supplies

When you plan your finances, you will also need to include the cost of books, electronics, and other educational supplies in your budget. The amount you pay will vary from year to year. When it comes to textbooks, you might want to look into e-books, used books, or rental books to help reduce costs.

You might want to save at least $1,000 per year for books and additional school equipment.

Here are the top five Canadian universities and the average price spent on books:
University Average Spent on Books
University of Montreal $479.70
McMaster University $682.75
McGill University $572.05
University of British Columbia $749.19
University of Toronto $707.22
Accommodation Costs

Finding on-campus housing at Canadian universities can be a bit difficult. Students should consider whether on-campus housing is convenient for them, as they have to share their bedroom, dining room, bathroom, and other facilities with other students. Prices vary on the location and the sort of accommodation.

Here’s the average accommodation cost for international students according to type:
Accommodation Type Average Cost (CAD)
Homestays $400 – $800 per month
Dormitory $3,000 – $7,500 per school year
Renting $400 – $1,500 per month

 

  • This type of accommodation offers a friendly and secure environment for international students coming to study in Canada. It also helps improve your English and meet new people. Homestays provide a private room, and the school arranges meals.
  • Dorms are usually located near their school campus. You can have a private or shared room, and they’re separated by gender. Usually, the bathroom, kitchen, and other facilities are shared by everyone living in the dormitory.
  • Renting varies in quality, price, and availability. Students share their accommodation to keep the costs down. You can rent different places such as suites, apartments, or houses.
Living Costs

When studying in Canada, you can live on-campus or off-campus. You can socialize and make friends if you choose to live on-campus, and you’ll get an opportunity to buy a meal plan. Universities prioritize first-year students for on-campus housing.

The average monthly cost of living in Canada for international students is between CAD $600 and $800 for groceries and other daily expenses, excluding accommodation. Generally, the cost of living will depend on your lifestyle as an international student in Canada and your spending habits.

Here’s the average cost of living expenses for international students in Canada:
Living Expenses Average Cost (CAD)
Foods and groceries $300 – $400
Restaurants $12.00 – $35.00
Transportation $100.00 – $150.00
Utilities $92.00 – $322.00
Rent per month $941.67 – $2,250
Clothing $25.00 – $80.00

You should budget in any other expenses you’ll need for living and studying. For example, paying for your mobile phone, internet, or personal care items.

If you live on-campus, you won’t have transportation costs at all. Living off-campus can be one way to save money on rent, but you should budget the transportation expenses.

Discounts for International Students in Canada

As an international student in Canada, you’ll find deals and discounts all around restaurants, stores, and public transportation. Telecommunications providers also have discounts for students. To enjoy these discounts, you’ll need an International Student Identification Card.

Some of the industries that offer student discounts in Canada are:
  • Retail: Adidas, Topshop, GAP, Nike, H&M
  • Traveling: Air Canada, Booking.com, Viator, Flight Center
  • Gadgets: Apple, HP, Lenovo, Samsung
  • Food: Subway, McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC
  • Cosmetics: MAC, Urban Decay
Budgeting Tips for International Students in Canada

As an international student, you must always budget so that you do not spend more than you planned. Budgeting is a great way to save money and make wise financial decisions.

Here are a few budgeting tips for international students in Canada:
  • Keep track of your money. Create an accurate budget and set saving goals.
  • Understand the difference between needs and wants. You do not have to buy new clothes every month, cut out on stuff you can live without. Use your money for things you need rather than the things you want.
  • Make a list of your incomes and expenses.Set aside the money you want to spend on clothes, groceries, rent, and transportation. Restrict yourself from spending more and stick to your plan.
  • Search for earning opportunities. You can participate in market research, work as a freelance writer, become a blogger or social media manager, or do online tutoring.

You should also save money for social activities, entertainment, or emergencies. When living in another country as a student, keeping track of your money is better, so you don’t overspend.
