Costs for International Students

When preparing to study at SLC, it is important to consider all costs.

Use the information prepared below to help you prepare a monthly/yearly budget.

When reviewing the cost of studying at SLC and Canada, here are some tips to help you:

• Make a budget- monthly and annually
• Be realistic about your finances
• Expect the unexpected- there are always extra unexpected costs involved when moving abroad. Trust us, we have lived abroad!
• Do not depend on potential income from a job in Canada. Securing a job in Canada can take months, and minimum wage cannot pay your entire way through school.
• Talk with your family- get an accurate idea if they can help you financially.

Make sure when reviewing costs, always use the current conversion rates for your countries currency into Canadian Dollars (CAD$) to get an accurate idea of costs.

You can use a currency converter from the Bank of Canada to get an accurate idea of the exchange rate.
