Hi Ashwin,
Tuition fees in Canada
Universities in Canada set their own fees, and these vary depending on several factors: what programme you are studying, whether you are an international or home student, and whether you are studying at undergraduate or postgraduate level. According to the latest report from Statistics Canada, tuition fees in Canada fell by an average of 5.3 percent for undergraduate domestic students and rose by 7.6 percent for international undergraduates in 2019/2020. If you are a Canadian citizen studying in Canada, you can expect to pay an average of CA$6,463 per year for an undergraduate degree, and CA$7,056 per year for a graduate degree. Undergraduate tuition fees in Canada
According to Statistics Canada, the average tuition fees for undergraduate international students in 2019/20 are CA$29714 (~US$22,500) per year. Humanities courses tend to be cheaper (averaging $5,542), while subjects such as engineering and medicine are among the more expensive (an average of CA$21,717 (~US$16,446) for dentistry and $14,162 (~US$10,724) for Medicine. Fees for business and management courses are lower than the national average, at CA$6,827 (~US$5,170) per year. Postgraduate tuition fees in Canada
If you want to study at postgraduate level, the tuition fees are generally lower, and again vary depending on your programme.
