Are there full scholarships for international students at Canadian universities?

I'm an international student looking to study in Canada. I'm curious if any Canadian universities offer full scholarships to international students. Any info on which schools might have these options?

Yes, quite a number of Canadian universities offer full scholarships to international students.

1. The University of British Columbia (UBC) provides several scholarships for international undergraduate students, such as the International Major Entrance Scholarship. The scholarship is renewable for four years and can be quite substantial—it may cover living expenses and tuition.

2. The University of Toronto awards the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship to international students who show strong academic achievement and creativity. The scholarship covers tuition, books, residence fees, and full support for four years.

3. The University of Waterloo provides the International Student Entrance Scholarship based on academic excellence. While this scholarship may not cover the full cost, the university does offer a number of other financial aid resources that could potentially help meet the costs not covered by the scholarship.

Remember, while these scholarships can help greatly, competition is high, so it is important to start the application process early and to make your application stand out. Most of these scholarships also necessitate maintaining a certain GPA throughout your study, so you should be prepared to meet those requirements once you are admitted.

Also, keep in mind that the cost of studying abroad is not only tuition. Think about living expenses such as housing, food, transportation, and health insurance. Apply for as many scholarships as you can and save money to cover these extra costs!
