Our Process
How It Works
Compare Tuition by Province
Ontario universities (Toronto, Waterloo) charge CAD 25k–35k. Quebec universities charge significantly less (CAD 17k–22k) due to provincial subsidies. Manitoba, Nova Scotia, and Saskatchewan are 20–30% cheaper than Ontario. EduVed shortlists programs across provinces based on your cost targets.
Choose City for Cost of Living
Toronto and Vancouver: CAD 18k–22k/year living. Ottawa, Montreal: CAD 14k–17k. Winnipeg, Halifax, Saskatoon: CAD 10k–13k. EduVed accounts for city cost in total budget planning.
Calculate Off-Campus Work Earnings
With 24 hrs/week off-campus work rights, Canadian minimum wage ($15–17/hour) yields CAD 18k–22k/year earnings — nearly covering living costs in smaller cities. EduVed factors realistic work earnings into your Canada ROI model.
Explore Scholarships
Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship (full funding for PhD), provincial scholarships, and university merit awards can reduce costs by CAD 5k–25k/year. EduVed identifies all scholarships matched to your profile.
Plan Your Education Loan
Indian banks (SBI, Axis, HDFC Credila) offer education loans up to ₹1.5 Crore for Canada. EduVed advises on loan documentation required for the Canadian student permit financial proof.
Model Your Post-Study ROI
PGWP allows 3 years full-time work at Canadian salaries (CAD 50k–90k/year for most STEM/management roles). EduVed models how quickly post-PGWP earnings cover your total education investment.
