Study in Canada

Canada has experienced an influx of international students from all over the world in recent years and has given various job options to students and working professionals. In reality, many students who came to Canada as students wanted to stay permanently.

Student employment

Working part-time while studying may be an excellent strategy to reduce the cost of living in Canada while simultaneously gaining job experience in your subject of study.

As an international student, you can work while studying in Canada if you:

• have a validated study permit and are a full-time student

• are pursuing a degree, diploma, or certificate course

• have a Social Insurance Number (SIN)

Then you can:

• During regular academic semesters, you may work up to 20 hours per week and full-time during specified breaks, such as winter and summer vacations or spring break.

On-campus and off-campus jobs are available to students.

Your social security number.

To work in Canada or obtain government benefits and services, you need a Social Insurance Number (SIN) from Service Canada.

To request a SIN for on-campus employment, your study permit must include one of the following restrictions or remarks:

• May take work on the university campus where they are enrolled full-time.

• May take work on or off-campus if eligible under R186 (f), (v), or (w) (w). If these conditions aren't met, the employee must stop working.

Your study permit should not include one of these restrictions or remarks. And you must make a free request for a modification before applying for a SIN.

Working after graduation

After finishing your education, you will need a work permit to work in Canada. One of the most frequently recognized is the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PWPP), which is helpful if you subsequently want to become a permanent resident of Canada.

Work permits from the PWPP are valid for your first study program (up to three years) and allow you to work in any occupation and change employers at any time.

Cost of studying in Canada

How much does studying in Canada cost?

With our budget advice, you may reduce your financial spending.

Studying abroad may be costly, but happily, Canada is one location with a high-quality education at a lower tuition price than many other countries.

When analyzing the projected cost of studying in Canada, make sure to include expenditures such as housing, food, health insurance, travel, and your tuition charge. As a result, you'll be able to plan your budget better.

1.Tuition fees are your primary expenditure.

The amount of money you pay at university depends on the type of degree you pursue and the school you attend. You'll need anywhere between CAD 13,000 and CAD 35,000 each year to cover this.

Humanities, education, and the arts are often less expensive, but medicine and engineering are more likely to be more expensive. If you want to study at a postgraduate level, the tuition is usually more costly, and the fees vary based on the program. Like most other nations, MBA programs are frequently the most expensive. These programs cost between CAD 30,000 and CAD 42,000 on average.

1. An undergraduate program costs between $13,000 and $20,000 per year.

a yearly salary of $7,000 to $15,000

4. MBA salaries range from $30,000 to $40,000 per year on average.

*Please keep in mind that all charge figures are estimates.

2. Estimate the cost of lodging

Most Canadian universities provide on-campus housing for international students. You can also choose off-campus housing, where you will share an apartment with other Nepalese students. On-campus housing can cost anywhere from CAD 8,000 to CAD 10,000 per year, whereas a shared apartment might cost anywhere from CAD 400 to CAD 700 per month, depending on your location and the time of year. Keep in mind that rental prices differ from city to city.

A homestay, where you have to live with a Canadian host family, is another alternative. You will have to pay a CAD 200 placement fee and a CAD 750–950 monthly cost in exchange for meals and a room. You will, nevertheless, be able to engage in local activities with the host and improve your English while learning more about the culture.

3.The cost of acquiring a student visa and obtaining a work permit

The first step in studying in Canada is to get a legitimate study permit, which comes with its own set of charges (approx. CAD 150). Please contact your student alliance counsellor for the most up-to-date information and updates on the visa application procedure and associated costs.

4.Costs of living

You should budget for grocery shopping, social outings, and unexpected expenses. It is preferable to keep track of your costs as a student living in a foreign country so that you do not overspend. An average single student budget in Canada is approximately CAD 15,000 when various fees and living costs are considered (indicative). When making your budget, don't forget to include the following expenses:

• Communication costs: As a Nepalese student, you'd constantly call your friends and relatives back home. As a result, set aside money in your budget for phone and data charges. To maintain contact with loved ones while keeping within your monthly budget, look for low-cost calling plans and student discounts. You can choose a phone plan that meets your needs. However, the average monthly cost is around CAD 20.

• Books and supplies: Buying textbooks might be costly. Books for engineering courses, for example, might cost between CAD 250 and CAD 350. The value of law, medicine, and pharmacy methods can be much higher. You may keep this within your budget by purchasing used books, digital versions, or even a library subscription.

• Personal costs and incidentals: laundry, toiletries, clothes, dining out, and other everyday expenses will be incurred. This cost is mainly dependent on the lifestyle you select for yourself.

5.Consider health care and insurance.

All students travelling to Canada must get medical insurance before starting their studies. Depending on your stay, you will cover the provincial health insurance in British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta, Newfoundland, Manitoba, Labrador, or Saskatchewan. In Canada, international student health insurance costs between $600 and $900 per year (indicative).

6.Ignore your tax obligations.

International students with a Social Insurance Number (SIN) studying in Canada and workers in Canada can work twenty hours per week during an educational period and full-time during vacations. Your Canadian earned income will be taxed if you choose to work while studying. Furthermore, if you get a scholarship or an assistantship from your university, the federal and state governments may tax you.

Remember that currency fluctuations might have an impact on your budget. We recommend that you look for part-time work or apply for scholarships at the colleges you usually attend, which can significantly reduce the expense of studying abroad.

Canada Study Scholarships

To assist deserving international students in funding their studies, Canadian universities and colleges offer a variety of scholarships. Aside from that, the Canadian government and public and private institutions offer numerous scholarships, grants, and bursaries. Check the eligibility criteria and the closing date before applying to these scholarships.

The main criteria for most scholarships is a good academic score, but it also depends on various factors such as your chosen destination, subject, and level. Extracurricular activities and volunteering can also gain an advantage in some scholarships.

However, keep in mind that the sum of money accessible is limited. And the type of award varies between institutions. Obtaining a scholarship is competitive, so you must apply early.
