π¨π¦ 4 Canadian Universities I Recommend for Full Scholarships (Bachelor's Degree)
Listen, there are over 100 universities in Canada. But if you're an international student looking for a fully funded undergraduate education (tuition + living expenses = $0 out of pocket), only a handful actually deliver. These are my top 4 recommendations: 1οΈβ£ University of Regina β International Student of Distinction Scholarship - Over $80,000 + FREE housing + FREE meal plan (4 years) - Deadline: Currently Open 2οΈβ£ University of British Columbia β International Scholars Program - Full cost of attendance (tuition + fees + living expenses) - Deadline: November 2026 (this is for Fall 2027 entry) 3οΈβ£ University of Toronto β Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship - Over $300,000+ (tuition + books + fees + residence for 4 years) - Deadlines: School nomination by October 2026 | OUAC admission by October 2026 | Scholarship application by November 2026 (this is for Fall 2027 entry) 4οΈβ£ Simon Fraser University β Undergraduate Scholars Entrance Scholarship (USES) - Up to $140,000 (tuition + fees) + $8,000/term living allowance for those with financial need - Deadline: December 2026 (this is for Fall 2027 entry) How to Apply: University of Regina: Applying is straightforward. Go to the University of Regina admissions website at uregina.ca/admissions and create an account to start your online application. You'll need to submit your high school transcripts, proof of English proficiency (IELTS or TOEFL if English isn't your first language), and pay the application fee (approximately $100 CAD). University of British Columbia: UBC requires two separate applications: one for admission and one for the International Scholars Program. For admission, go to you.ubc.ca/applying-ubc and create an account. You'll complete UBC's online application, submit your transcripts, provide English proficiency scores, write a personal profile (short essays about your activities and experiences), and pay the application fee (approximately $116 CAD). The admission deadline is typically December 1 for fall entry. For the International Scholars Program, you must complete a separate scholarship application through the same portal after you've started your admission application. This requires four essays, a nominator (someone who knows you well, like a teacher or mentor), a teacher referee, and detailed financial documentation proving your family cannot afford the cost of attendance.
