Study at the best universities in Canada!
Compare Canadian programs, admission requirements, budgets and study arrangements.
Choose a program that fits your academic interests, preferred language and budget. Compare course content, campus facilities and student support before applying.
Program length and teaching arrangements vary by institution and qualification. Check the program information published by each university.
Check the teaching language and language requirements of each program. Do not assume that every course at a university is available in both English and French.
Top tips
Some French students may qualify for tuition arrangements under the France-Quebec agreement. Eligibility and fee categories depend on the applicable criteria and level of study; confirm your status with the university.
A post-graduation work permit is subject to eligibility rules. Its length is not automatically equal to the length of your studies; consult the official guidance linked below.
Selection process: check the academic documents, prerequisites and language evidence requested by each program.
When to apply: record the individual application deadline for each program and prepare required tests and documents in advance.
Practical Information
Duration of studies: confirm the length and structure of your chosen qualification directly with the university.
Tuition in Quebec: check current fees for your program, intake and fee category.
Other Canadian provinces: compare tuition and living costs for your actual shortlist rather than relying on a national estimate.
