Increases in tuition have grown to be a significant determinant of students’ educational choices. According to the Fall 2025 Recruitment Partner Pulse poll by ApplyInsights, international students’ top issue is still the “cost of studying.” Canada is thought to be more expensive than places like Germany and Ireland. In order to show value for money, institutions are being asked to emphasize on-campus services, post-study job support, and program excellence.
The cost of tuition still varies greatly by province. The expensive place to study in Canada is Ontario. Right now almost half of the students here are from other countries. The cost of the undergraduate tuition fees here is almost 25% more than British Columbia. It is also said that the tuition fees is double than New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
The difference of the postgraduation fees is very less discussed but still it is quite noticeable. As per the sources, in Ontario the four year undergraduation fees costs around $200,000 but the same costs around $75,000 in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is also said that Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador are kind of affordable but Ontario, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia is little expensive.
Even though tuition is the biggest cost, accommodation is still a major worry for overseas students. In 2025, in response to rising living expenses, the Canadian government raised the proof of funds requirement to $22,895, plus tuition and travel.
With one-bedroom flats costing more than $110,000 over the course of four years, Vancouver remains the most costly city for student accommodation. While rents in smaller towns like Regina and Saint John have increased by almost 10% annually, rents in Toronto, Victoria, and Ottawa are comparable. The Prairie provinces and Atlantic Canada offer the most affordable accommodation, with monthly rents typically falling below $1,300.
