You'll probably need between $20,000 and $30,000 per year to pay for college, and you can avail of financial aid to cover your education costs. To lower your college costs, you can also apply for a variety of Canadian scholarships. The institution and program in which you are enrolled will affect this range since it is merely an average. It is a very practical alternative for students when taking the return on investment into account to study in Canada.
You will incur additional costs while studying other than your tuition. College/university fees, health insurance, and supplementary fees are some examples of non-tuition expenses that you must factor in. Naturally, you must budget for your daily expenses, which throughout your school period may include rent or mortgage payments, food prices, travel expenses, phone bills, and more.
The cost of living plus rent indices for Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Australia are currently 54.62, 57.60, 53.24, and 61.51, respectively, according to a recent cost of living comparison (these indices are relative to New York City). This indicates that compared to Canada, living costs are higher in the United States and Australia. The cost of living may be greater in larger cities where universities are located, but on average, it is a little more affordable to live in the UK than Canada.
The level of one's quality of life is typically influenced by a number of different factors, including the standard of one's environment, education, healthcare, employment, and job security. Canada has been ranking higher than other nations in the list of the best countries to live in.
It might be easier to get accepted into Canadian colleges or universities than it is in the United States, the United Kingdom, or other European nations. Canadian educational institutions usually consider your high school academic performance for admission to bachelor's programs whereas the admission criteria is different in the US. You might have to take entrance exams to be considered for institutions in the United States and other countries as there is a greater focus on general extracurricular development. You might have a greater chance of being admitted to a Canadian institution if you have prioritized your academic performance over these other factors. Similar eligibility requirements exist in Australia and the United Kingdom.
Additionally, compared to comparably ranked U.S. institutions, Canadian colleges tend to have higher acceptance rates, increasing your chances of getting accepted.
There are ample opportunities available for students to work during and after study. Some colleges provide practicum experience as an integral part of their programs, and for others, you can opt for internships yourself at various organizations.
You can apply for jobs as a student through the Federal Federal Student Work Experience Program (FSWEP), explore co-op opportunities, conduct research in your field of interest, find jobs via the job bank, or learn about other student and graduate hiring programs, inventories, fellowships, and career options.
