Scholarships in Canada are offered by the Canadian government and many higher institutions alongside grants, awards, and bursaries to international students in a bid to help them to finance their education. There are application processes individual applicants must follow in order to forestall their scholarships. It is also necessary to note the deadlines and apply before the closure so as not be rejected. Also, there are limited Canadian scholarships.
One outstanding quality of Canada is that there are two languages spoken there: English and French. The Canadian people are very friendly and the environment accommodating for international students.

Some health insurances are offered for free by some provinces to international students.

However, on a general note, the cost ranges between CA$20000 to 30000 for undergraduate programs. Postgraduate programs are a little lower and could be about CA$16000 per annum.
It will be very encouraging to apply for scholarships to help cut down the financial load on an individual. Getting a job is an excellent way to help fund your stay in Canada. Students are entitled to work 20 hours/week during semesters and full-time during breaks.
You will need to prove your language proficiency, provide transcripts from previous education, prove your financial capabilities and medical coverage. You will also need to prove your major when applying for most Canadian universities.
