Information for International Students and Fellows
Funding opportunities for international students are not as plentiful as they are for Canadians since many forms of assistance provided by the federal and provincial governments are offered only to Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents of Canada. A good source of information for international students can be found through聽GPS Graduate Funding 101聽and at the . Opportunities for supplementing fellowship income by employment are also scarcer since international students and their dependents are not normally permitted by Canadian immigration authorities to work outside the university. Immigration officials also require all international students entering Canada to provide proof that they possess sufficient funds to cover at least one academic year's stay in Canada as well as return fare home.
Non-Canadian students can, nonetheless, draw on a considerable variety of fellowships and other forms of assistance. There are, to begin with, several large, multi-disciplinary programs specifically aimed at funding study in Canada by students from abroad. These include:
- the Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Program
- the Government of Canada Awards to Foreign Nationals
- The provides opportunities for students from Commonwealth countries to study in other Commonwealth countries.
- the Technical Assistance Scholarships and Fellowships and Canadian Fellowship Program for French-Speaking Countries, funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
Applications for all these programs must be made through the government of the applicant's home country, usually via the Ministry of Education. Applications sent by individuals directly to Canada cannot be considered.
