🇨🇦 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:
- Over $80,000 + FREE housing + FREE meal plan (4 years)
- Deadline: Currently Open
- Full cost of attendance (tuition + fees + living expenses)
- Deadline: November 2026 (this is for Fall 2027 entry)
- 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)
- 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.
University of Toronto:
U of T has a unique process because the Pearson requires your high school to nominate you first. Step one is to talk to your school counselor or principal immediately and ask them to nominate you for the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship. Schools must register and submit their nomination by October 2026. If your school doesn't nominate you, you cannot apply for this scholarship, so this conversation needs to happen now. Once nominated, you apply for admission through OUAC (Ontario Universities' Application Centre) at ouac.on.ca. OUAC is the central system for all Ontario universities. You'll select University of Toronto as one of your choices, submit transcripts, and pay the application fee. Your OUAC application must be submitted by October 2026 to be considered for Pearson.
Simon Fraser University (SFU):
SFU also requires two separate applications: one for admission and one for the USES scholarship. For admission, go to sfu.ca/admission and create an account. You'll submit your online application, transcripts, English proficiency scores (if applicable), and pay the application fee (approximately $75 CAD). For the Undergraduate Scholars Entrance Scholarship (USES), you complete a separate scholarship application through SFU's system. Applications open in October 2026, and the deadline is December 2026. You'll need to demonstrate your academic achievements and, if you want the living allowance portion, provide financial need documentation.
