The highest in this list is MBA at University of British Columbia (UBC), at CAD $75,712 a year. Fees change every year, so confirm the current fee on the school site before you apply.
- Across the 16 programs in this list with a published fee, the middle tuition is CAD $35,575 a year. Tuition is only part of the cost. For a study permit you must also show money for living costs: CAD $23,448 for a single applicant from 1 September 2026, plus your first-year tuition and travel.
- In this list, September: 16 programs, January: 5 programs and May: 2 programs. Many schools close applications for international students months before the start date, so check the deadline on the school site early.
- 2 of the 16 programs list a co-op option. Co-op lets you work in your field as part of your studies. International students usually need a co-op work permit for it, so ask the school how they handle this.
- Not always. It depends on the school, the program, its length and, for many college programs, the field of study. Each program above shows its PGWP status as we have it on record. Confirm with the school, and use our free PGWP checker before you pay a deposit.
