You should budget CAD 25,000 - 65,000/year for studying and living in Canada for a teaching course. This includes both tuition and living expenses, which vary by program, city, and lifestyle.

- Tuition (Master’s): CAD 15,000 - 50,000/year (varies by university and program)
- Accommodation: CAD 800 - 1,800/month (higher in major cities)
- Food: CAD 200 - 400/month
- Transportation: Around CAD 156/month (city dependent)
- Health insurance: CAD 600 - 1,000/year (subject to change)
- Books & supplies: CAD 500 - 1,000/year
- Personal expenses: Varies by lifestyle

These figures are approximate and subject to change based on location, institution, and personal choices. If you need a more detailed estimate based on your specific course or city, your LeapScholar counsellor can help.
