Canada
A co-op degree pays you while you study and gives you Canadian experience before you graduate — which is exactly what employers and immigration both look for.
IRCC requires C$22,895 evidenced for living costs on top of tuition outside Quebec, and re-indexes it again on 1 September 2026. Indicative annual ranges, last checked August 2026, compiled from IRCC — Proof of financial support, IRCC — Deputy Minister transition binder 2026, International Student Program, IRCC — About the post-graduation work permit, IRCC — PGWP: Who can apply and IRCC — PGWP language level tables. The ielts and living ranges are our own estimate across the market rather than a published figure. KMI is not the source of these figures. They move with policy and exchange rates, and we cost your specific shortlist properly before you commit.
Why students pick it
Paid placements inside the degree. It lengthens the course but pays for a meaningful share of it.
Canadian study and Canadian work experience both count towards permanent residency points.
Consistently cheaper than the US, UK or Australia for a comparable degree.
Applied colleges place strongly into work, and for some profiles are the better route than a university Masters.
That depends on your marks, your budget and your intake. Tell us where you stand and we’ll come back with a shortlist that fits.
Ask us about CanadaWe hold representation with universities in Canada, which means we can ask about a stalled file rather than wait with you. It does not mean we will push you towards them — if the better fit is a university we have no arrangement with, that is the one on your shortlist.
