Studying in
Canada is not free, but it is affordable. The average cost for a foreign
student for one school year (8 months) in an undergraduate program is
$11,903 Canadian.
Canada offers the lowest tuition rates* for foreign students compared to the
U.K., Australia, New Zealand and the US. Rates at U.S. public universities
were almost 1/3 higher than fees for Bachelor’s degrees in Canada, while
U.S. private university fees were more than double.
