Fees vary depending upon the institution of choice. Fees can be as much as CAD$25,000 ($22,485 / £15,000) but the average cost can be between CAD$4,000 ($3,000 / £2,500) and CAD$6,000 ($4,500 / £3,600). Hence students need scholarships to pull through. However keep in mind that exceptional students may be able to get funding either from the Canadian government or individual universities. Famous funding schemes include Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship Program and the ‘International Tuition Award. The latter is to help international students registered full-time in research-oriented master’s courses. Students are also advised to check their chosen university’s website for details of scholarships and fellowships.
