A student attending CEGEP, trade school, college or university full-time today can expect to pay between $2,500 and $8,000 per year or more in tuition alone—and books, supplies, student fees, transportation, housing and other expenses will add to the total.
In fact, full-time students in Canada paid $14,500 on average to cover a year of post secondary expenses in 2003-2004. That's roughly $58,000 for a four-year program.
