3. Funding

International students sometimes have more difficulty securing supervision and funding than Permanent Residents or Citizens of Canada and Quebec because of the higher tuition rates. For this reason, it is important to think about funding options before you apply or, if you already have funding, to ensure that you have all the information and amounts ready for when you contact prospective supervisors.

The Graduate Training Committee requires that all students accepted into the thesis graduate program be financially supported. Current minimum levels of support plus the full balance of tuition. These amounts are guaranteed for up to 2 years for M.Sc. students, 4 years for Ph.D. students who enter as Ph.D. (2) and 5 years for those who enter as Ph.D. (1).

Please keep in mind that funding must come from one of following sources:

i) studentships (available from both internal and external agencies on a competitive basis),

ii) research grants awarded to supervisors and

iii) financial support from foreign governments, providing it is documented, is acceptable. Personal or family financing of graduate careers is ordinarily not permitted. Other funding options (scholarships, grants, etc.) are up to the student to pursue. For more complete information on student funding, please visit our webpage at:

It is not the responsibility of the department to secure funding or supervision for applicants.
