Category Type of program Fee payments
Category 1 Credit billed programs Students in these programs pay for courses by the credit.

International fees 

Post-secondary studies are partially subsidized by the provincial ministries for Canadian citizens and landed immigrants. International students are not covered by the subsidies and pay a higher tuition as a result. View our International site to learn more about applying as an international student.
