A full master's program in Canada typically lasts 1 to 2 years.
- Course-based programs: 12 - 18 months
- Research-based programs: up to 2 years
The total cost (including tuition and living expenses) is usually CAD 36,000 - 72,000 per year. For a full program (1 - 2 years), expect to spend CAD 36,000 - 144,000. Costs include tuition, accommodation, food, transportation, health insurance, and other essentials.
Specialized programs like MBAs may be higher.
