Study in Canada: Learn about housing and living costs

BY A STAFF REPORTER

 One of the most important factors to consider while studying abroad is your budget. As a student, it's important to think about what kind of accommodation you'll have, how much travel you plan to travel and whether you'll try to find part-time work. Fortunately, students have also got the benefit of being eligible for student accommodation and lots of student discounts at popular sightseeing and attractions.

 

Whether you are urban or nature loving, Canada's budget friendly entertainment makes it a great choice for students studying abroad. Also, canadian cities like Montreal and Toronto are much more affordable than other big cities like New York and London. On average, students should expect to spend somewhere between $675-$875 CAD a month before the fare. If you plan to study in a city, housing in a student dormitory will usually cost an additional $550-$600 CAD. Remember that Canada has specific rules and regulations for students to work with their permission. Therefore, students should not rely on getting jobs to fund their studies.
