Best cities for students
Provinces that are the most popular among foreign students are British Columbia and Ontario where the two largest cities are located — Vancouver and Toronto.
Quebec is also a great destination for students. It is a bilingual province, and Montreal, its capital, is the second-largest city in Canada after Toronto. There are plenty of English- and French-taught programs at universities in Quebec. Also, education costs here are lower than in other Canadian provinces.

Living costs
The cost of living in Canada depends on the location. The most expensive cities are Vancouver and Toronto. On average, living expenses are about 1,500 CAD per month. Living expenses in Montreal are around 1,000-1,200 CAD per month.
It’s worth mentioning that foreign students in Canada have to pay around 1,500 CAD for their medical insurance every year.
Student visa procedures
Foreign students must apply a student visa, after they get an offer and pay a deposit. The application process is online which is a huge plus. After they apply online, students must go to the nearest Canadian visa center and share their biometric data (photograph and fingerprints).
