Am I eligible for the Pearson International Scholarship if I plan to start at the University of Toronto in September 2027?

→

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.

Can I get into certain fields more easily in Canada with my three-year bachelors degree?
