How to get into a Canadian university

• Take a standardized test. To be eligible to study in many Canadian universities, you will need to take a test such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). If English is not your first language, you will also have to take an English language proficiency test such as TOEFL or IELTS.
• Submit your transcripts. You will be asked to submit your high school and college transcripts along with the required documentation for admission into any university program in Canada.
• Apply to at least three universities in Canada that offer the course you want to study.
• Write a personal statement outlining why you would like to study that particular course and how it would help you achieve career success in the future. This shall give the admissions officer an insight into who you are and if you are a suitable candidate for their university program or not!
• Get your financials in order! Study abroad is expensive, so make sure that all of your finances are in place before applying for a study visa from Canada by documenting all sources of income including bank statements and tax returns, etc., so that there’s no confusion regarding funds when applying for your visa later on! If necessary get some extra help from an accountant so everything goes smoothly later down the road-they will know exactly what type of credit cards/types of loans work best depending on what country they work out of 🙂
• Submit your application with all supporting documents online or by mail (depending on each individual university’s preferences). Pay attention to deadlines; late applications may not be considered! After submitting either method apply ASAP so there’s no delay due to postal service delays etc -best way I’ve found yet is using DHL Express Delivery which guarantees delivery within 3 days internationally but does cost about $30 more than regular airmail postage options available at most post offices worldwide (and even though these don’t arrive quite as quickly-sometimes

What will it cost to study Nursing in Canada?

Tuition fees for Nursing programs vary based on which province you wish to study in, and whether you are a domestic or international student.

The table below shows the average tuition fees for Nursing programs at universities across Canada.

Program Type | Domestic Student Tuition Fees (per year) | International Student Tuition Fees (per year)

• — | — | —

Undergraduate | $7,082 CAD per year | $23,895 CAD per year

Graduate (Masters) / PhDs | $11,585 CAD per year | $27,963 CAD per year

You will need funds for living expenses such as accommodation and food while studying in Canada. The average cost of living for a student is between $10,000 – $14,000 CAD per academic session depending on the city of study. You can expect to pay more than this if you live in major cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Living expenses may include: accommodation; food; textbooks; transportation; clothing; entertainment and communication costs (telephone/Internet). The cost of living may also be higher if you have dependents with you. Upon arrival in Canada, having approximately $10,000 – 14,000 CAD available is recommended to cover your initial costs until your first pay cheque or student loan payment arrives.

Finding funding to study nursing in Canada

• Scholorships. There are plenty of scholarships out there for Canadian students, both private and government-funded. If you decide to study nursing in Canada, it’s important that you do a thorough search to see if you qualify for any of the funding opportunities available.
• Financial aid through your university. If the school where you intend to study nursing in Canada offers financial aid, make sure you get in touch with their department right away so that they can help guide you through the application process and leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding financial assistance.
• Contact a financial advisor or counsellor. You may find that seeking out someone who has no affiliation with your chosen school will be able to provide some helpful tips and resources when it comes to funding your education as a nursing student in Canada.
• Look into student loans. Another option is getting a student loan from either the province or territory where you live or from the federal government itself—this is generally easier than securing a private loan, but if this is an avenue that interests you then make sure you look into all of your options before making any decisions about how much debt to take on while studying nursing in Canada.

When considering these options, keep in mind that there are also grants available for Canadian students looking for more funding help on top of what they receive from scholarships and other sources–so if nothing seems quite right yet then don’t give up hope just yet!
