Yes, studying in Canada is generally more expensive than in Germany when considering both tuition and living expenses.

- Tuition fees: Public universities in Germany usually charge no tuition for international students, with only a semester contribution of €150 - €400/semester. In Canada, international tuition is much higher, typically CAD 20,000 - 45,000/year for undergraduate programs.
- Living expenses: Average monthly costs in Germany are €900 - 1,200, while Canadian cities usually have higher living expenses.

Overall, Germany is the more affordable option for international students due to lower tuition and living costs.
