Other than applying for the passport, below is a brief explanation of stages you may have to invest in.
IELTS: Owned and conducted by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge Assessment English, this is one of the common exams you are required to take to study in Canada. It is for you to show that you have enough knowledge of the English subject and that you will be able to communicate smoothly in Canada. There are two types of IELTS – IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. If you are going to pursue an undergraduate or postgraduate, IELTS Academic is the exam you need to give.

You should check with your university or college which form of document they accept. There are two modes - electronic transcript for which there are no fees and hard copy which shall be sent through courier (ordinary post or DHL) whose courier charges you need to pay.
You can choose any of the offline mode of sending your TRF – ordinary post costs around Rs. 400/- per institution and DHL charges Rs. 1500/- for the same. The difference in the rates arises as a tracking number is provided by DHL and not by ordinary post and hence an ordinary post doesn't let you track your parcel.
If you wish to send your IELTS scorecard to more than 5 institutions through any mode- online or offline, you need to ask your exam center to send the scores on a fee for each. For sending an electronic transcript, Rs. 250/- is charged per university. The IELTS scores are valid for 2 years.

If you wish to reschedule your test you need to pay $60 which costs around Rs. 4600/-.
You can choose up to 4 institutions to which your test scores will be directly sent online via a mailing system.

So now that you are living in Canada, it is the time to plan your monthly budget! This will include your accommodation, travel, health insurance and some other little things. Let us look into this one by one.
Accommodation: It must be an exciting thought to live in Canada either in the university accommodation or outside it. It is a good idea to plan your stay according to your budget.
Living inside the university or college campus: There is a term called 'living in residence' for accommodation on the campus or in nearby areas. These are furnished with beds, study desks and shelves. You can choose to add three-time meals to your cost of living in residence. If given an option, you may choose to share your room cutting down your cost immensely. This helps you save transportation cost. The cost of residency living tentatively ranges from CAD 3,000-7,500 (Rs. 1,62,000- 4,05,000/-) a year.
Living in Private housing: If you prefer to live outside the campus for reasons like privacy or more freedom, do remember that you will have to pay a sum of money immediately before moving in - 2 months’ rent (first month and last month rent) and a damage deposit as demanded by the landlord. The cost of living in private accommodation in Canada can be near to CA$8,400 (Rs. 4,54,000/-) per year other than bills such as internet connection, electricity, cooking utensils, furniture among others. The rent varies from city to city.
Other expenses: Some other expenses involved are mentioned below. Please note than these depend on your lifestyle and the city you live in. The figures in the table below are rough approximates.
Amenity |
Cost per month |
Food (Groceries & Eating out) |
$400 (Rs. 22,000) |
Phone & Internet |
$50 (Rs. 2694) |
Public Transport |
$80-$110 ( Rs. 4300- 6000) |
Entertainment |
$150 (Rs. 8000) |
Health insurance: International students need to have a health cover in Canada providing 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week medical assistance. Health insurance laws, however, are divided according to which provinces (states or geographical areas) you live in. A broad range of cost could be from CAD 600 to CAD 900 (Rs. 33,000 to 50,000/-) yearly. Universities in Canada take mental health seriously.
We hope this blog post helps you in planning your abroad journey to Canada and have a better understanding of total expenses to study in Canada. It is always good to plan your expensesbefore moving outside India. India is one of the largest contributors to international students in Canadian educational institutions. Thus, expecting a familiar environment wouldn't be wrong!
Yocket wishes you all the best in your journey. You can know more about dates to apply, popular courses, education system, scholarships, visa procedure, stay back options and other details to study in Canada.
