High quality, affordable cost ! Canadian universities are funded by Canadian provincial governments. The land, buildings and infrastructure costs are paid for by Canadians through taxation, so tuition fees solely cover education costs. Canadian universities are fully regulated by the governments and by other academic organizations. This allows Canadian universities to have high quality education while costing less. The CUAC selects member universities that offer a spectacular combination of quality, lower tuition and higher scholarship possibility to give international students a wide range of choice.
