A master’s degree in Canada can cost less than in the United States, but prices vary widely. Tuition guides put the typical range for international students at roughly CAD 9,000 to CAD 70,000 per year, depending on the university and program. Professional programs like the MBA sit at the high end.

Well-known research universities such as the University of Toronto, McGill, and the University of British Columbia offer many master’s programs, and their fees differ by faculty. Always check the exact program page, since published averages hide large differences.
Budget beyond tuition. Housing, health insurance, and the cost of living in cities like Toronto and Vancouver add substantially. Many universities offer scholarships and teaching assistantships that reduce the bill, so start with scholarship options for Canada and read how much a master’s in Canada costs in detail. If you are applying from abroad, review the international student guidance for Canada and the broader graduate degree picture in Canada before you commit.
