MScPhD2 programmes
Canadian graduate programmes are either thesis-based (research, often with funding) or course-based (professional, usually self-funded). Master’s degrees typically take one to two years.
Approximate figures in CAD ($). Your university’s offer letter has the exact fee.
Roughly CAD 20,000–45,000 a year for most international graduate programmes. Professional master’s degrees and MBAs can cost more; thesis-based programmes are often cheaper and funded.
Plan for roughly CAD 1,500–2,500 a month; Toronto and Vancouver are the most expensive cities.
For the study permit you must show funds for living costs (over CAD 20,000 a year for a single applicant) plus your first-year tuition.
Student visa
You need a letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution. Most applicants, including most master’s and doctoral students, also need a provincial or territorial attestation letter.
