You are eligible to apply for a range of financial aid programmes offered by the federal or provincial governments, academic institutions, or non-profit organisations as international students pursuing higher education in Canada.

Institutional Scholarships: Provided by Canadian universities and colleges to students enrolled in their programmes.

The Canadian government also funds additional financial help or scholarship schemes. These consist of:

  • Ontario Graduate Scholarships (OGS): These awards are made possible by partnerships between participating universities and the Canadian government. International students are enrolling in master's or doctorate programmes at a few universities. 15000 CAD is the total scholarship grant per year.
  • Canadian colleges in Quebec offer financial aid to master's students. Quebec Provincial Government Scholarship Awards are given based on merit. Postdoctoral students receive 35,000 CAD annually, whereas doctoral students receive 25,000 CAD annually.
  • Many fellowships are available through the Shastri-Indo Canadian Institute for students enrolled in graduate and postgraduate programmes in Canada.
  • Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship: Offered to deserving students from Commonwealth nations enrolled in masters and doctoral programmes at Canadian universities. The grant pays for living expenses, travel costs, and tuition.
