Accommodation |
Each
institute has its own policy for housing and may offer
a range of options for single and married students.
Most common types of accommodations are: |
 |
School-Provided Home stays:
A home stay usually consists of a Canadian family
hosting a student in their home while the student
attends classes in Canada. This includes meals
as well as a private, furnished room. (Cost:
CDN $ 400 - $ 800 per month)
|
 |
School-Provided Residence/Dormitory:
Many schools have accommodation conveniently
located on or near their campuses. There is
usually an option of either shared or private
room and dormitories.
(Cost: CDN $ 3000 - $ 7500 per year)
|
 |
Off Campus Housing: Usually
many students share or rent apartments to save
costs. Listings of available apartments or homes
are published weekly in local newspapers. Rents
vary greatly according to the location and time
of year. (Cost: CDN $ 250 - $ 700 per month)

Health Insurance |
This
is another very important criteria for financial planning.
Most Canadian Institutes require that all students including
international students be covered by an insurance policy
that will protect them against medical, hospital bills
if they get sick or are injured while studying at the
college, as health care is very expensive. Some provinces
like Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan cover
international students under their provincial health
care plans. Students studying in other provinces must
arrange for private medical coverage through private
insurance companies, which approximately costs about
CDN $ 35 per month.

Part-Time Work &
Jobs |
Employment
opportunities for international students are limited.
You should not plan on earning substantial money from
a part-time job to help pay for your studies. |
On
campus : Though international students are allowed to
work on the campus of any publicly-funded, degree granting
institution, these jobs are often difficult to obtain
and do not provide sufficient funds to sustain education
costs. |
Practical
Training : In addition, there may be opportunities for
practical training which entail a period of authorized
employment, designed to allow foreign students to have
professional work experience related to their field
of study. For further details, contact the foreign student
adviser at the university, after you are enrolled. |
