Respected universities, career-focused colleges and safe, welcoming cities, with 116 institutions we can help you apply to.
The key facts families ask for first. Figures are typical ranges, not quotes.
Canada gives you two clear routes. Universities offer academic and research degrees. Public colleges and polytechnics offer hands-on diplomas and postgraduate certificates built with employers.
Many programmes include co-op terms, where you work in a paid placement as part of the course and graduate with Canadian experience.
Canada now limits the number of new study permits each year, so a strong, well-documented application to the right institution matters more than before.
Choose an academic degree or a practical diploma, or move from one to the other.
Paid work terms are built into many programmes.
Large Indian communities in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta.
The post-graduation work permit can lead on to permanent residence programmes.
116 institutions across 10 provinces. Search by name or city, or filter by province.
No match. Try a shorter search, or ask us: the list changes often.
QS numbers are from the QS World University Rankings 2027 and refer to the parent university. Entries marked as pathway or foundation lead into the named university through a partner college. Always check that the institution is a designated learning institution and that your programme qualifies for a post-graduation work permit; we do this with you.
Besides tuition, you must show living funds set by the government. Most Indian students do this with a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC).
Each institution sets its own requirements. This is what most ask for.
Fees, living costs and visa rules are a guide only and were last checked in October 2026. They change often and differ by university and course. We confirm the current figures for your shortlist before you apply.
Five steps from your offer to your permit. All applications now go through the regular stream, so apply early.
Receive a letter of acceptance and pay the deposit.
The institution arranges your provincial attestation letter if you need one.
Buy a GIC or show equivalent funds, plus first-year tuition.
Submit the application with your study plan and documents.
Give biometrics and complete the medical exam.
Full-time students at designated institutions can work off campus for up to 24 hours a week in term time and full-time in scheduled breaks. A co-op placement needs a separate co-op work permit, which we help you request with your study permit.
The post-graduation work permit (PGWP) is an open work permit for up to three years. Whether you qualify depends on your institution, your level of study and, for many college programmes, whether your field is on the eligible list. You also need an English or French test result.
Canada caps new study permits each year and shares them between provinces, which is why most applicants need a PAL. From 2026, master's and doctoral students at public universities are exempt. The living funds to show rose to CA$22,895 in September 2025.
Seats in Canadian medical schools for international students are very limited. Most Indian doctors reach Canada through the MCC exams and a residency match. Our MBBS pages explain the route.
Short answers to what students and parents ask us most.
Choose a university for an academic or research degree. Choose a public college or polytechnic for a practical diploma or postgraduate certificate with co-op. Both can lead to a work permit if the programme qualifies.
A provincial attestation letter confirms that your place counts within the province's share of study permits. Most college and undergraduate applicants need one. Master's and doctoral students at public universities are exempt from 2026.
First-year tuition, plus CA$22,895 in living funds for one student, plus travel. The amount is higher if family members come with you, and Quebec sets its own figure.
Not every course does. It depends on the institution, the level and, for many college programmes, the field of study. We check this before you accept an offer.
Yes, up to 24 hours a week off campus in term time and full-time in scheduled breaks, once your course has started.
