Nowadays, studying in Canada is more and more popular. For Canadian students, what everyone is most concerned about is the cost of studying abroad. Although the cost of studying in Canada is low, it is not small. How can we save costs? The following Heaven Bian Xiao will give you a brief introduction.

Specifically, purely from the perspective of money, there are at least several basic ways to save money by studying in Canada:

Choose non-first-tier cities to study abroad.

In China, the city with the highest cost of living is undoubtedly Beishangguangshen. Other cities generally go to smaller places, and the expenses in all aspects will be lower. The same applies to Canada.

20 16/20 17 Canadian tuition is the lowest in Newfoundland and Quebec, the highest in Ontario, and the highest in other provinces, while the living expenses in Toronto are in Ontario, far exceeding the average level of other provinces. BC and Ontario are Canada's major education provinces, which are relatively high in terms of climate, economic development and living standards. So tuition and living expenses are higher than those in other provinces.

Manetho, Saskatchewan and other central and western provinces, or the eastern provinces such as St. Mary's University and Dalhousie University, the fees will be slightly lower, and the annual tuition and living expenses will be around 6,543,800 yuan. In addition, many colleges in Canada also offer undergraduate majors, and the tuition fees will be lower than those of universities. The living expenses in second-and third-tier cities will be much cheaper than those in first-tier cities, so that you can go to a good university and save a lot of money.

Choose to shorten the period of completing undergraduate courses.

After the school is confirmed, the longer the study time, the more tuition and living expenses. Graduating early will naturally save a little tuition. It's a bit difficult for China University to graduate early, but Canadian university graduates count as credits. If you finish your credits ahead of time, you can graduate ahead of time. Specifically, there are two ways to solve the problem of insufficient tuition. One is to build more schools, and the other is to apply for credit reduction.

Choose more credits: international students can choose more credits according to their personal learning situation, which will shorten the time required to complete Canadian undergraduate courses. For example, take one more class each semester than other students; If the school offers summer courses,

Procedures (summer courses), using summer courses to take more credits.

Apply for credit relief: If you have studied in a university in China for a period of time, or if you have studied in a school or course unrelated to a university in Canada, you can apply for credit relief before entering a Canadian university for undergraduate study. If the credits are successfully reduced or partially reduced, then you can save the tuition fees for these credits, and at the same time, you can shorten the time of undergraduate study in Canada, thus saving living expenses.

Choose a community college to transfer to a university for 2 years.

You can also try to save money on your academic settings. For example, first choose the freshman and sophomore courses to complete in local public colleges or Canadian community colleges, and then transfer to four-year universities to complete their degrees in the next two years.

The tuition fees of public colleges are generally much lower than those of four-year universities, and most of the credits of public colleges can be recognized by many four-year universities, so sometimes it is also a way to go to an unknown public college to collect credits and then transfer to a good university you want to graduate.

This method is a little curved to save the country, but I'm afraid I won't be admitted to a good university here. ...

Choose the most economical way to buy books.

Studying in Canada has an inevitable big expense-the cost of books. As a country with perfect intellectual property protection, textbooks and books in Canada are very expensive. If you buy new books every semester, you will definitely spend a lot. So you can choose to buy second-hand books. Second-hand books won't affect your normal study anyway. Worst of all, you can consider buying e-books now. Electronic textbooks and books are cheaper than new books. Remind me again on the way, don't forget your school library.

Choose different ways of working to make money.

Cutting expenses is never a good idea. We should always learn about open source. For open source, the best way is internship. Generally, what we talk about most is the co-op (cooperative paid internship) course. Cooperative courses are mainly provided by Canadian public universities. Generally speaking, from the second semester, if students have excellent grades, they can apply under the guidance of the teacher in charge of the Co-op course in the school and pass the company interview, and then they can enter the enterprise for paid internship.

If you can't touch cooperative courses, you should work decisively outside the school, but you should also work in accordance with the Basic Law. Generally speaking, you can legally work no more than 20 hours a week during your study period, and you can work full-time during holidays.

Choose a way to save money.

Don't buy tickets directly when you go out, just like in China. All kinds of transportation in Canada have different packages and discounts to choose from. For example, if you have a "youth train ticket" by train, you can generally save 10%. Nowadays, the Internet has also improved a cheaper way to travel. Many schools in Canada have special carpooling websites or platforms. You can find someone to ride or carpool with.

Choose the most cost-effective shopping and leisure way.

When shopping in Canada, you should know that it is chosen on Sunday, because some places in Canada will offer students a discount of 10% on Sundays. This can not only save living expenses, but also save transportation expenses. If you want to enroll in a training class or an interest class, you can check in advance whether the school student union has organized relevant courses. Because every university student union will organize some special skills training and interest classes. This kind of training is usually free or cheaper than outside.

In addition, there are always many activities in Canadian schools, and most of them are free. If you plan your time well, you can have a great weekend without spending a penny.
