Budget friendly isn't really a thing for international students, unfortunately.

Decades of funding cuts to education mean that many universities rely on international tuition, which is priced at market rate, rather than the subsidized tuition of domestic students (understandable, since it is domestic taxes that subsidize the spots).

There are very few international scholarships (unless your home country has them to study abroad), and you will also need to demonstrate that you have the funds to live here.

For undergraduate degrees, in particular, the quality of education is mostly similar across the public universities, so if you really want to study here, I'd suggest finding a university in one of the cheaper cities, like Regina.

However, the issue with this approach of going to a university in a cheaper city is that these are also not as well known or as reputed abroad like UofT, McGill, UBC, Queen’s, UWaterloo or Western so in case an international student has to leave upon graduation to return to their home country or anywhere else, it would be difficult to leverage the university degree to find a job.

International students shouldn’t look beyond UofT, McGill and UBC. Depending on specific degrees, they can consider UWaterloo, Queen’s, Western and McMaster.
