The final application list for any given student is built individually around academic performance, language level, budget, programme preference, career goal and admission requirements.
Cost of Living
What does annual cost look like?
Living costs in Canada vary by city and province, with Toronto and Vancouver among the priciest. For Canadian study permit applications outside Quebec, as of 1 September 2025 the student must show at least CAD 22,895 in living expenses on top of the first year's tuition and travel costs. Treat this as a visa minimum — actual budgets in major cities can run materially higher.

Accommodation
Accommodation options
Canadian students often pick on-campus residence for first year. Beyond that, homestays, private student halls, shared houses and rented apartments are common. The rent budget needs particular care in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa.
