When weighing options to pursue studies abroad, many people shy away from this opportunity due to costly tuition fees. In this article, we would like to introduce several post-secondary options in Canada with low tuition fees.
To give you an idea for comparison. According to statistics Canada, the average tuition fees for international students for 2019/2020 are $29,714 CAD per year. While tuition fees vary depending on the program, with the humanities on the lower end of the spectrum (average $5,542 CAD) and engineering and medicine on the higher end with an average of $21, 717 CAD.
In comparison to the average collected by Statistics Canada, the options below are significantly more affordable for international students. Despite the lower tuition fees, the programs are still of high quality from public institutions.
