В стоимость обучения следует включить расходы на регистрационный взнос – 200-350 $, учебные материалы – 700-1600 $, сдачу экзамена (на некоторых программах оплачивается отдельно) – 700-1 200 $.
Для получения студенческой визы необходимо доказать, что студент имеет достаточно средств не только на обучение, но и на пребывание в стране: минимум 917 $ в месяц – в Квебеке, 833 $ – в других провинциях.

Стоимость оформления визы – 150 долларов. Авиабилет следует покупать после получения визы, чтобы избежать штрафов и переплат.
Поступление в канадский вуз без сдачи IELTS

После того, что вы подберете для себя подходящее учебное заведение, подайте заявку на выбранную программу и получите письмо-подтверждение от колледжа или университета в Канаде.

Собеседование с работодателем
Для приема на работу понадобится резюме и сопроводительное письмо. В письме нужно доказать работодателю, что ему надо взять именно этого соискателя. Это похоже на рекламу. Надо в письменной форме описать свои положительные качества, навыки и умения. В резюме обязательно указывается опыт (если он есть), профессия, образования, личные данные.
Если нет желания самостоятельно заполнять бумаги, то это дело можно доверить специальной компании. Они помогают с оформлением и заполняют необходимые документы по всем правилам и нормам.
Соискатель на этом этапе может поинтересоваться условиями проживания. Job offer-ы адекватно реагируют на вопросы о жилье, отправляют фотографии. Большинство из них предоставляет жилплощадь, аренду которого потом вычтут из зарплаты. В среднем это получается 70–100 долларов в неделю.
Важно понимать, что на словах соискателя ждет комфортная квартира с 3–4 другими студентами. Только по прибытию станет ясно так ли это или нет
Поэтапный процесс оформления по программе Work and Travel
Особенности трудоустройства
Часто мигранты задумываются о работе только после переезда. Бытует мнение, что официантом или продавцом можно устроиться сразу. Но это не так. Такие вакансии занимают местные жители.
Конечно, если потратить месяц или два, хорошо владеть иностранным языком, то найти работу в магазине или ресторане получится
В Канаде по одному звонку можно устроиться в сервисы по клинингу, на стройку и в отделочные бригады. Большое преимущество у опытных строителей. Они могут получать по $10000 в месяц даже без особых знаний языка.
У мигранта для легальной работы должно быть разрешение одного из трех типов:
- Обычное разрешение, по которому можно работать строго у одного работодателя в оговоренный заранее период времени.
- Открытое разрешение дает право искать работу после въезда в страну.
- Разрешение для выпускников канадских вузов позволяет трудиться в любой компании.
Кроме разрешения на руках должна быть виза временного резидента. В противном случае нарушителю грозит арест и депортация из страны.
Eligibility
Some study programs include work experience as part of their curriculum. You can apply for a co-op or intern work permit if:
- you have a valid study permit
- work is required to complete your study program in Canada
- you have a letter from your school that confirms all students in your program need to complete work placements to get their degree, and
- your co-op placement or internship totals 50% or less of your study program

- accept a Canadian work placement and begin working remotely from your home country
- work for a company in your home country
If you’re working remotely from outside Canada, you can work while we process your study permit and co-op work permit applications.
Scholarship value and duration
Funding for Study in Canada Scholarships is made available by Global Affairs Canada through its legal title: the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD).
The Canadian institution will receive funding from DFATD for all successful candidates in the form of a contribution agreement and will be responsible for providing the funds to scholarship recipients.
The scholarship value varies depending on the duration of studies:
- CAD 10,200 for college, undergraduate or graduate students (Master’s and PhD) for a minimum of four months or one academic term of study or research; or
- CAD 12,700 for graduate students (Master’s and PhD) for a period of five to six months of study or research.
In addition to the funds allocated to the recipients by DFATD, the Canadian host institution may also claim CAD 500 per scholarship recipient to assist with administrative costs once the scholarship recipient arrives in Canada.
Eligible expenses
Canadian institutions will disburse scholarship funds to the scholarship recipient to contribute to the following costs:
- visa or study/work permit fees;
- airfare, for the scholarship recipient only, to travel to Canada by the most direct and economical route and return airfare upon completion of the scholarship;
- health insurance;
- living expenses, such as accommodation, utilities and food;
- ground public transportation, including a public transportation pass; and
- books and supplies required for the recipient’s study or research, excluding computers and other equipment.
Payment procedure
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Contribution Agreement, funding will be disbursed by a cheque or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) issued to the Canadian institution upon receiving the following documents:
- the Contribution Agreement signed by both the designated authority at the Canadian institution and the designated authority at DFATD; and
- a Cash Flow Statement submitted by the Canadian institution to coincide with the arrival of the scholarship recipients in Canada.
Funds will be disbursed to the scholarship recipients according to the Canadian institution’s internal processes and in conformity with the Contribution Agreement concluded between DFATD and the Canadian institution. Canadian institutions will typically disburse funds to scholarship recipients in instalments.
The Canadian institution will retain proof of scholarship payments to the recipient(s) and other documents required as further outlined in the Contribution Agreement concluded between DFATD and the Canadian institution.

Каково вообще учиться в Канаде в почти 40 лет
Я уже говорил, что в Канаде много студентов. Причем за счет политики государства, многие из них взрослые иностранцы, которые переехали сюда с семьями. На моем курсе больше молодежи, но есть и люди постарше — моему однокласснику 47, есть студенты за 50. Студенты 40+ в Канаде — это норма, и косо на них никто не смотрит.
Для себя я заметил, что учиться в таком возрасте, конечно, непросто. Уже не схватываешь все на лету, иногда дольше запоминаешь и чуть медленнее соображаешь. С другой стороны, ты уже точно знаешь, что учишься не просто так, а выбрал профессию себе по душе. Это мотивирует и помогает заниматься более сосредоточенно.
Подробнее о жизни в Канаде — в инстаграме моей супруги.
Accommodation in Canada for international students
They offer amenities such as townhomes. However, it is great if you get the family/ host homes. They provide you with meals 3 times a day and can have a secure staying accommodation. You will surely experience home like the atmosphere there.There are also townhouses available in some cities and areas. Where they contain three to six bedrooms and you can simply opt for single rooms. Also, there are off-campus shared apartments.
Also, it depends where you live again. For example, If you choose to study at the University of Toronto and live in near St. George, it would be Costlier abodes. A room near St. George cost you approx. $625 whereas the same near University of Toronto, $530 to $540. Whereas for 1, 2 and 3 BHK apartments, an average of $1200, 1600 and 2000 approximately.

Such applications must be accompanied by a letter issued by the Canadian institution’s international office or equivalent, linking the application to a specific international research collaboration, naming the Canadian supervisor who has agreed to mentor the student during the scholarship period, and confirming that tuition fees, if any, will be waived for the recipient. Such a letter must be uploaded in lieu of an inter-institutional agreement.
- For graduate applications, an inter-institutional agreement is desirable but not mandatory. If there is no existing exchange agreement, graduate applications which involve a new or established collaboration between professors from a Canadian institution and the candidate’s home institution will be accepted.
- Applications submitted directly by a candidate or their home institution will not be accepted.
- Scholarships cannot be deferred and are not renewable.
- Scholarships are not taxable for either the Canadian institution or the scholarship recipient.
