Full scholarships for engineering undergrads in Canada?

I'm an international student eyeing an engineering undergrad program in Canada. Are there full scholarships for students like me? Any engineers here who have done this or know what schools I should be looking at?

Absolutely, there are several Canadian universities that offer scholarships, some even fully funding international undergraduate students. Here are a few that you can consider:

1. University of Toronto: U of T offers the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship program which covers tuition, books, incidental fees, and full residence support. This is awarded to outstanding international students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement and creativity, and who are recognized as leaders in their schools.

2. University of British Columbia: UBC has the International Major Entrance Scholarship for outstanding international students. This can be renewed for three additional years of undergraduate study or for degree completion.

3. McGill University: While not full, McGill has the Major Entrance Scholarships for International Students, ranging from $3,000 to $12,000.

4. University of Waterloo: Known for its top-class engineering programs, Waterloo offers several scholarships including the International Student Entrance Scholarships, which range but can go up to $10,000.

Remember that admission to Canadian universities is pretty competitive, especially for these fully-funded scholarships. An impressive academic record and a portfolio showcasing your dedication to engineering (through extra-curricular activities, internships, or projects) will enhance your application.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your applications!
