University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowships

University of Manitoba

Depending on the course of study and institution you select, university tuition varies. For international undergraduate students in Canada, the average cost of college tuition is $6,800 per year (Statistics Canada, 2022) Graduate students from abroad pay $21,100 per year. 

Universities in Canada don't typically waive tuition. Therefore, receiving a free education in Canada is not conceivable. For international students, several Canadian universities do, however, provide fully paid scholarships. 

Working 20 hours a week is possible. Your study permit requirements will be broken if you work more than 20 hours per week. If you do this, you risk losing your student status and risk being turned down for future study or employment permits. You may be asked to leave the country.
