College costs in Canada

Every figure in this section is in Canadian dollars (CAD). Canadian universities price by student category, so local, other-Canadian where published, and international tuition and fees are kept on separate lines. Nothing here is converted to USD.

All 20 Canadian universities

Local means the lowest domestic category the university publishes for the program basis on the school page. Quebec schools also publish a separate rate for Canadians from outside Quebec; open the school page or the Quebec province page to see that middle line.

How to read a Canadian school price

Start with the category, not the total. A Canadian citizen or permanent resident usually prices on a domestic line. In Quebec, a Quebec resident and a Canadian from another province can face different published rates at the same university. An international student prices on a separate line that can be several times the local line, and that gap repeats each year.

Then add residence on the basis named by the university. A published residence range covers different rooms and meal plans; the low end is not a promise of placement. Only a written award offer reduces the total.
