Study in Canada
Canada is one of the destinations students ask us about most because it offers opportunities to gain work experience while studying and explore pathways to permanent residency after graduation.
Why Canada
What makes this route worth considering
- Co-op and work-integrated programs are built into many diplomas and degrees, so you graduate with Canadian work experience already on your CV.
- The Post-Graduation Work Permit gives you time to convert study into skilled work experience.
- Provincial and federal immigration streams recognise Canadian study and work experience, making it a genuine long-term pathway rather than a temporary stay.
Costs
What it costs
- Tuition (indicative): CAD 15,000 – 35,000 per year
- Living costs: CAD 12,000 – 18,000 per year
- Proof of funds: Required — amount set by IRCC and revised periodically
Intakes
Intakes & timing
September is the main intake, with January and May available for many programs. Start 9–12 months ahead: September applicants should be shortlisting by the previous October.
Visa
Visa & work rights
- Study permit required, applied for after you receive a letter of acceptance.
- Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to 3 years, depending on program length and eligibility.

Figures are indicative and rules change. Tuition, living costs, proof-of-funds amounts and visa conditions for Canada are revised regularly by institutions and authorities. Treat this page as a starting point for planning, confirm current requirements with your counsellor, and remember that visa decisions rest solely with the immigration authority.
