If Canada is slightly unaffordable, consider these countries for quality education at lower costs:

- Germany: Minimal or no tuition at public universities (semester fee €150 - €350), living costs about €750 - €1,000/month, 18-month post-study work visa (PSW), many English-taught programs.
- Poland: Tuition €2,000 - €4,500/year, living costs €500 - €700/month, work permit possible after graduation, increasing English program options.
- Malaysia: Tuition RM 7,000 - RM 15,000/year, living costs RM 1,500 - RM 2,500/month, 1-year PSW, most courses in English.
- France: Tuition €2,770 - €3,770/year at public universities, living costs €700 - €1,000/month, 2-year PSW (APS permit), many English-taught courses.
- Taiwan: Tuition NT$ 50,000 - NT$ 60,000/year, living costs NT$ 20,000 - NT$ 30,000/month, 1-year PSW, over 500 English programs.

These options offer affordable tuition and living expenses, with strong post-study work opportunities and English-taught courses.
