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: 1️⃣ University of Regina — International Student of Distinction Scholarship - Over $80,000 + FREE housing + FREE meal plan (4 years) - Deadline: Currently Open 2️⃣ University of British Columbia — International Scholars Program - Full cost of attendance (tuition + fees + living expenses) - Deadline: November 2026 (this is for Fall 2027 entry) 3️⃣ University of Toronto — 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) 4️⃣ Simon Fraser University — 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.

I have been getting so many messages from you asking me to review your essays, and I wish I could sit down with each of you and go through every draft, but there's only so many hours in a day. So I built something instead. Introducing www.culturo.io It's a web application that I created specifically for international students who need honest feedback on their essays. You paste in your essay, and it gives you detailed feedback on what's working, what's not, and how to make it stronger. Here's the thing: it's still in its trial version. That means it's not perfect yet. You might run into bugs. Something might not work the way it should. If that happens, just message me directly and let me know what went wrong. I'm actively working on improving it every day. This is just the beginning. I have so much more planned, such as school recommendations, scholarship matching, and application checklists, but I wanted to get the essay feedback tool in your hands first because I know how many of you need it right now. Give it a try: www.culturo.io
