Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — significantly. University of Alberta MS Engineering (~CAD 14,000/year) vs Georgia Tech ($30,000/year out-of-state). Even top Canadian programs (Waterloo, UBC, Toronto) cost 30–45% less total than comparable US programs. PGWP also adds far more PR value than STEM OPT.
Thesis-based MS programs typically provide full funding (tuition waiver + CAD 16,000–20,000/year stipend). Professional MS programs are self-funded. Thesis MS is strongly recommended for research-oriented students and is financially superior.
