What the fee figure leaves out

A published fee is not what you pay

907 courses here, across 53 universities, carry a sourced note about a cost the headline figure does not include — a compulsory contribution, an income-tested scale, an annual increase that applies from year two, a rule about who qualifies. The most widely shared of them:

U of T bills tuition either as a flat program fee or per course, and charges compulsory incidental and ancillary fees on top of it; the ACORN invoice separates the two as tuition and non-tuition charges.

“Tuition fees are assessed as either program-based fees or course-based fees. These charges, along with incidental and ancillary fees, are outlined on your ACORN invoice, which categorizes fees into Tuition and Non-Tuition Charges.”

What it costs

Annual international tuition, converted to US dollars so the two ends compare. The published figure in its own currency is the authoritative one.

What it costs to live

Student housing published by the university itself or by the body that runs its halls, cheapest first. Shown in the currency and period each one publishes — not converted, because a converted rent is a worse number than the real one.

How Canada compares with other countries

Ranked against every other country on StudyPath. Countries charge in different currencies, so these figures are converted to US dollars and are approximate; the published figure, in its own currency, is on each university's page.

Converted to US dollars at the site's exchange rates of 13 Sept 2026. A fee or rent published per term, month or week is scaled to a year, and housing is counted for twelve months of holding the room. The living-cost figure is what an immigration authority requires a student visa applicant to show, taken as a year; the UK's, for example, covers at most nine months, so this overstates it. See student finance for each country's exact wording.
