Canadian universities are seeing increasing numbers of international students, but these students often face challenges, such as high tuition and fees.
Most financial aid options offered at universities in Canada are intended to benefit Canadian students. As an international student, options of finding aid in Canada are limited and it is critical that you understand the costs of studying here so you can plan your expenses. Understanding what costs you should expect will help to guide your financial plan as a whole.
This recently-recorded webinar by World Education Services (WES), “Funding your education in Canada” offers an overview of the financial aid landscape for international students looking to study in Canada.
