Cost of living in Canada
The cost of living in Canada is higher than in other nations. Students should put together approximately $800 to $1200 per month in order to take care of expenses such as accommodation, food, transportation etc. Prominent cities such as Vancouver and Calgary are very expensive to live and you may have to raise your budget to $1500 in order to be able to live in these cities. As I noted in my earlier post, cost of living depends mainly on factors such as: the spending habit of the student and city he/she lives in. So do not be scared by these big figures. If you are the type that loves to save, you may live on less.

Work while studying
The good news is that International students are able to work while studying on low tuition in Canada. You are able to work up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions, and full time during academic breaks (for example, winter and summer holidays, and spring break). Please note that a work permit does not necessarily guarantee that you will find a job and be employed. As such it is your task to search actively for work. Say you find work off campus, your studies should remain your priority in Canada.
