Is fifteen lakhs a comfortable budget for a one-year course in Canada?
No, ₹15 lakhs (about CAD 18,750) is usually not enough for a one-year master’s program in Canada when you include both tuition and living expenses.
- Tuition fees for international students typically range from CAD 15,000 to 35,000/year, depending on the university and program.
- Living expenses (food, transport, utilities) are around CAD 10,000 - 15,000/year, and rent can add CAD 7,000 - 14,000/year depending on the city.
Total costs often exceed CAD 25,000 - 40,000/year. You may need a higher budget or consider scholarships and part-time work options. For tailored advice, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
