Expert Answers
Does my admission to a Canadian master's program mean I will automatically get a scholarship or funding?
→No, an offer of admission to a Canadian master's program does not mean you will receive funding. Some entrance awards may be considered automatically after acceptance, but a scholarship may need a separate funding application. Options vary by university, course and whether your master's is course-based or thesis-based.
How much should I set aside for one-time costs when I move to Vancouver as a student?
→One-time costs for a student moving to Vancouver typically include first month's rent of about CAD 1,800 to 3,000 for a one-bedroom, a security deposit of up to half a month's rent, a flight, initial groceries, furniture, SIM setup, airport transport, study setup and winter clothing.
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.
What documents will I need to apply for a PGWP in Canada after finishing a DEC or AEC program in Quebec?
→After a full-time DEC or AEC of at least 8 months, you need an official institution letter confirming program duration and program code. You then provide either a valid document confirming completion or a transcript from a Quebec institution. Check the official IRCC page.
What is the minimum length my DEC or AEC program must have to qualify for a Canada PGWP?
→To qualify for a PGWP after a DEC or AEC in Quebec, you usually must have completed a full-time program of at least 8 months. You also need an institution letter confirming the program duration and code. Check the official IRCC page for the latest rules.
What counts as an authorized leave from my study program in Canada as an international student?
→A leave of up to 150 days may still count as regular study if authorized, for reasons such as a medical condition, family emergency, institution closure due to a strike, a change of institution or a postponed program start. You must prove this to IRCC.
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.
