Expert Answers
Am I eligible for the Pearson International Scholarship if I plan to start at the University of Toronto in September 2027?
→You are typically eligible if you are an international student who needs a study permit, are in your final year of secondary school in 2026 to 2027 or graduated recently, and plan to start undergraduate study at the University of Toronto in September 2027 with a school nomination.
Should I target Canadian universities with scholarships for my computer science studies?
→Yes. Waterloo, UBC and Toronto list entrance awards or graduate funding that Indian students can try, while Manitoba's Graduate Fellowship lists CAD 20,000 yearly (approx INR 13.6 L) for two years of MSc study. Research-based master's programs usually carry far better funding than course-based ones.
How can I find data science scholarships at Canadian universities?
→Waterloo, UBC Okanagan, Memorial and Guelph list awards for data science master's students, but coursework awards are small, such as CAD 5,000 (approx INR 3.41L) at UBC Okanagan. Research-based programs can carry assistantships, so compare program type before you apply.
Should I expect an entrance scholarship for a business analytics master's in Canada?
→Yes, usually partial ones. Saint Mary's, Laurier, Rotman and HEC Montreal all advertise entrance awards for their business analytics and analytics masters, and several decide them during admission. Advertised values run from 2,000 to 25,000 Canadian dollars, and none is guaranteed.
Is it possible for me to join a paid co-op during a computer science degree in Canada?
→Yes. UBC welcomes international students to its co-op programs, Dalhousie computer science co-op asks for a minimum 2.5 CGPA, and Waterloo and Ottawa also run co-op. Since 1 April 2026 eligible students no longer need a separate co-op work permit, but you still need a valid study permit.
Can I get into certain fields more easily in Canada with my three-year bachelors degree?
→With a three-year bachelors degree, Canadian universities typically welcome applicants into fields where academic equivalence is easier to establish, such as business, computer science and social sciences. Public policy suits diverse backgrounds, while engineering usually needs a recognized three-year engineering degree. Check each university's page.
Do Canadian universities give me, as an Indian student, scholarships for finance degrees?
→Yes. HEC Montreal lists entrance scholarships of CAD 2,000 to CAD 10,000, Dalhousie's Corporate Residency MBA awards run CAD 5,000 to CAD 10,000, and Telfer has a CAD 500 emergency fund for Indian MBA students. Check the official page for your intake.
How long is a BBA in Canada, and what subjects will I study in the general syllabus?
→A BBA in Canada typically lasts 3 to 4 years. The general syllabus covers subjects such as financial accounting, management principles, organizational behavior, human resources management and international business management. Specific courses vary by university and specialization, so check the official program page.
