University tuition fees for international students in Canada

The good thing about Canada is that its fees are comparatively lower than the fees of its counterparts in USA, United Kingdom, and Australia. Students in Canada likely need between CAD 20,000 and CAD 30,000 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 set its own fees based on merit, what program you are studying in, and whether you are a local or international student. According to the Statistics Canada, the average fee for international students is CAD 29,714 for undergraduate studies and 17,744 for graduate ones.

Tuition fee also fluctuates radically depending on which Canadian state you are studying. For example, Newfoundland and Labrador has the lowest undergraduate and graduate fees which comes at CAD 12,042 and CAD 4,081 respectively.

Meanwhile, Ontario has the highest average fee with average fees of CAD 38,276 and CAD 23,770 respectively.
