  • Students are responsible for paying their own tuition fees.
  • As a VISA student, you will be responsible for paying the portion equivalent to the Canadian student tuition fee. The differential between this and the foreign student fee will be paid by the Department and supervisor as follows: the Department will pay 50% of the differential fee and student’s health insurance for a maximum of 4 years for each student (1st two years for M.Sc and 1st two years of Ph.D).  During these time periods, the remaining 50% of the differential fee and student’s health insurance will be paid by the supervisor.  After the maximum of 4 years, the supervisor will be responsible for 100% of the fee differential and student’s health insurance.  At no time will the student be responsible for more than the current Canadian tuition fee.  All VISA students must apply for Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS).
