The major budget eater will be accommodation

While studying in Canada, you have the choice to either live on-campus or off-campus. On-campus living is generally normal costlier than renting apartments or home stays, but it has its own set of positives like greater opportunities to participate in university activities besides academics and better chances of socializing with fellow students.

Take for the benefit of Om Internationals student centric approach for Off-campus accommodation, which offers you the flexibility to choose from many options like renting an apartment or studio independently, sharing a house or going for home stays with local families.

Coming to a city-wise division of living costs, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec have some excellent universities, and accommodation in these cities would cost you about CAD 1000 a month.

Among the more costly cities are Calgary and Vancouver, where accommodation costs can go up to CAD 1500 a month, living individually. You can always share an apartment with another student to save significantly.

Plus if you are a young undergraduate student, you can expect a tremendous reduction in your monthly bills. This is because most Canadian provinces require that students under the age of 18, or 19 in some provinces, reside in a home stay with a host family. This option costs you about CAD 600-800 a month and in most cases, your host family will provide you with meals, leading to a further reduction in expenses.

Food won’t be a problem

Transportation is fairly cheaper

You can get a monthly transport pass to cover all your public transport trips at a reasonable price. University students, particularly those under the age of 25, are eligible for further discounts on their transport cards.
