Study in Canada, Quality Education With a Clear Path Forward
Canada has become one of the most sought after destinations for Indian students, thanks to a mix of affordable, high quality education, a genuinely multicultural environment, and immigration pathways that are easier to understand than in most other countries. WIN Education helps you make sense of Canada’s provinces, institutions, and programme types, so your shortlist is based on what actually fits you, not just what is popular.

Globally recognised universities and colleges across every province

Tuition Fees and Living Costs
Planning Your Budget
As a rough guide, annual tuition for international students typically ranges from CAD 15,000 to CAD 30,000 for undergraduate programmes and CAD 18,000 to CAD 35,000 for postgraduate programmes, with college diploma programmes often priced lower than university degrees. Living costs vary by city, with Toronto and Vancouver generally costing more than smaller university towns.
These figures are indicative only. Exact tuition fees and the minimum funds you will need to show for your study permit are set by the institution and Canadian immigration authorities, and can change from year to year. Your counsellor will share the current figures for your specific institution and intake.
Scholarships and Funding
Reducing the Cost of Your Degree
A number of Canadian universities and colleges offer entrance scholarships and merit based awards for international students. Our counsellors will flag scholarships you may qualify for as soon as they open for your intake.
Scholarship eligibility, value, and availability are decided by the awarding institution and can change with each intake.
Intakes and Application Timeline
When to Apply
-
September (Fall) is the main intake at almost all Canadian institutions
-
January (Winter) is a secondary intake offered by many universities and colleges
-
Some institutions also offer a smaller May (Summer) intake for select programmes
Start your application at least 8 to 12 months before your intended intake, to allow time for offers, funding, and your study permit
Post Study Opportunities
Working in Canada After You Graduate
Eligible graduates of designated Canadian institutions can generally apply for a Post Graduation Work Permit, which allows time to gain local work experience after completing a qualifying programme. The length of the permit you may be eligible for depends on the duration of your programme.
Post Graduation Work Permit eligibility, duration, and any pathway toward permanent residency are set by Canadian immigration authorities and are subject to change based on eligibility criteria and the rules applicable at the time. Your counsellor will confirm the current rules for your situation.
