Montreal is affordable

Managing the  cost and preparing the budget are the most important considerations when you plan to study abroad. Compared with other popular destinations, Montreal is one of the most affordable cities to live in, making it the ideal destination for international students.

The living expense in Montreal is dramatically low compared to other cities of its size. It’s possible to live in the city on a tight budget of about C$1200 – C$1500 a month including housing, transportation, food and fun activities. The city boasts one of the lowest costs of living in North America. All full-time students will be entitled to the reduced-cost transportation passes for both metro and bus.

Generally, studying abroad in developed countries could be expensive, however the price level of tuition fees for international students is low in Quebec when compared to tuition in the United States and other Canadian provinces.
