Requirements include bachelor's degree in relevant field, strong GPA (3.0+, competitive programs need 3.3+), English proficiency (IELTS 6.5+ or TOEFL 90+), statement of purpose, recommendation letters, CV, and portfolio. GRE not typically required for Canadian universities. Strong programming skills and projects essential. We help strengthen applications and ensure complete documentation.
Annual costs range CAD $28,000-$45,000 for tuition, plus CAD $12,000-$15,000 for living expenses. Total approximately CAD $40,000-$60,000 yearly. However, co-op earnings (CAD $50,000-$75,000 over program) significantly offset costs. More affordable than USA while maintaining quality. Public universities offer excellent value for international students.
Co-op (cooperative education) alternates academic terms with paid work terms. CS students complete 4-6 work terms (each 4 months) during program, earning CAD $50,000-$75,000 total with tech companies. Provides Canadian work experience crucial for PGWP and PR applications. Waterloo, Toronto, and UBC have strong tech employer networks. Mandatory in many programs
Software Engineering, AI/Machine Learning, Data Science, and Cybersecurity have strong demand. Cloud Computing and Full-Stack Development also excellent. Starting salaries CAD $65,000-$90,000 with experienced developers earning CAD $100,000+. All CS specializations offer good prospects with clear immigration pathways. Choose based on interest as demand high across fields.
For undergraduate programs, strong mathematics background required; prior programming helpful but not always mandatory. For master's programs, CS degree or related background with programming skills essential. Proficiency in Python, Java, or C++ expected. Strong projects, GitHub contributions, and coding competition participation significantly strengthen applications. Some universities offer bridge programs.
Bachelor's programs: 4 years (including co-op terms, some are 5 years with extended co-op). Master's programs: 1.5-2 years (thesis-based or course-based). PhD programs: 4-6 years. Co-op programs may extend duration but provide valuable paid work experience. PGWP duration matches study length (up to 3 years).
Yes! Strong pathway through Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs. PGWP provides 3-year work permit after graduation. Canadian tech work experience, CS NOC codes (21232, 21233), and education points significantly boost Express Entry scores. Most CS graduates achieve PR within 1-2 years post-graduation. Canada actively welcomes tech professionals.
Yes! Universities offer entrance scholarships (CAD $3,000-$20,000), renewable awards for subsequent years, and research funding for graduate students. Co-op earnings (CAD $50,000-$75,000 total) significantly reduce financial burden. Mitacs and provincial programs also available. Early application and strong academics with coding skills increase scholarship chances.
Yes! Study permit allows 20 hours weekly during semesters and full-time during breaks. However, co-op programs provide structured, well-paid tech experience (CAD $25-$40/hour) that's more valuable than part-time jobs. Graduate students often work as research or teaching assistants. Co-op earnings substantially help with expenses while building professional network.
Toronto (largest tech ecosystem with 400,000+ tech workers), Vancouver (growing startup scene, gaming industry), Montreal (AI research hub, lower cost of living), Waterloo (innovation corridor, startup ecosystem), and Ottawa (government tech, cybersecurity). All cities offer excellent opportunities with competitive salaries. Tech sector growing rapidly across Canada with high demand for CS talent.
