Canadian Universities Tuition Fees

The good thing about Canada is that its fees are comparatively lower than those of its counterparts in the USA, the UK and Australia. International students in Canada likely need between CAD 36,000 and CAD 40,000 annually to cover tuition. However, this range is just an average and will vary according to the institution and program in which you’re enrolled. 

Every university sets its own fees based on merit, what program you are studying in, and whether you are a local or international student.  

Tuition fee also fluctuates radically depending on which Canadian state you are studying in. For example, Newfoundland and Labrador has the lowest undergraduate and graduate fees which comes at CAD 6,300 and CAD 17,900 respectively. 

Meanwhile, Ontario has the highest average fee with an average fee of CAD 38,276 respectively. 

Tuition fees also change according to the field of study the student is enrolled in. Here is a short list of the cost of tuition for various fields of study for international students according to Statistics Canada:
