Tuition is lower than in the US or UK, the post-graduation work permit lets you stay and work for up to three years after you finish, and a handful of provinces and universities have built genuinely generous funding programs specifically to attract international talent.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17884\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17884\" style=\"width: 1536px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17884\" src=\"https:\/\/makeoverarena.com\/scholarships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Top-15-Masters-Scholarships-in-Canada-for-International-Students-.jpg\" alt=\"Top 15 Master's Scholarships in Canada for International Students \" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17884\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Top 15 Master&#8217;s Scholarships in Canada for International Students<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The catch is that &#8220;scholarships in Canada&#8221; is a messy search term. Type it into Google and you&#8217;ll get lists mixing undergraduate awards, PhD-only fellowships, and programs that quietly exclude international applicants in the fine print. This guide skips the noise.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Master&#8217;s Funding Actually Works in Canada<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Before jumping into the list, it helps to understand one thing that trips up a lot of applicants: not all scholarships are created for the same kind of master&#8217;s degree.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian master&#8217;s programs generally fall into two categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Thesis-based (research) master&#8217;s<\/strong> \u2014 you work with a supervisor, write a thesis, and are usually treated like a mini-PhD student. These programs come with the most funding, because departments budget for research assistantships and internal fellowships.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Course-based (professional) master&#8217;s<\/strong> \u2014 think MBAs, MEng, or applied master&#8217;s in fields like data science or public policy. Funding here is thinner and comes mostly from entrance scholarships, not research grants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep that distinction in mind as you read \u2014 it explains why some of the awards below are practically guaranteed if you&#8217;re doing research, and why others (like McCall MacBain) are rare exceptions that fund course-based degrees too.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The List: 15 Scholarships Worth Your Time<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Below are 15 real, currently active funding opportunities that a master&#8217;s applicant from outside Canada can actually apply for \u2014 government programs, university-wide awards, and department-level funding packages \u2014 with honest notes on who qualifies and how competitive each one is.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. McCall MacBain Scholarship (McGill University)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If there&#8217;s one award on this list that changes an applicant&#8217;s life trajectory, it&#8217;s this one. Often described as Canada&#8217;s answer to the Rhodes Scholarship, the McCall MacBain Scholarship funds a full master&#8217;s or eligible professional degree at McGill University in Montreal \u2014 any field, over 150 programs qualify.<\/p>\n<p>Scholars receive full tuition and fees, a monthly living stipend of CAD 2,300, a relocation grant, and a spot in an interdisciplinary leadership program with dedicated mentors and coaches. About 30 full scholarships are awarded each year, with roughly a third reserved for international candidates, plus close to 100 finalist and regional awards for runners-up.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> Recent graduates (within five years of their first bachelor&#8217;s degree) applying to a master&#8217;s or second-entry professional program at McGill.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deadline:<\/strong> Applications open in June for the following year&#8217;s intake; international applicants typically face an earlier deadline (mid-August) than Canadian\/US applicants (late September).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why it stands out:<\/strong> You apply for the scholarship <em>before<\/em> your McGill program application, and the process includes interviews, mentorship, and a genuine leadership community \u2014 not just a cheque.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>2. Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The OGS is a joint government-and-university award available at every participating Ontario institution \u2014 University of Toronto, Waterloo, Western, Queen&#8217;s, York, and dozens more. It&#8217;s worth CAD 5,000 per academic term, up to CAD 15,000 for a full year, and while the bulk of awards go to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, each university sets aside a limited international quota specifically for students studying in Ontario on a valid study permit.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> Master&#8217;s and PhD students at Ontario universities with roughly an A- average (80%+) over their last two years of study.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Duration:<\/strong> Up to two years for master&#8217;s students, within a six-year lifetime cap across all government-funded awards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The catch:<\/strong> International spots are genuinely limited (often single digits per department), so you&#8217;re competing against a small, high-achieving pool. Apply through your graduate department, not the province directly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>3. University of Alberta Graduate Entrance Scholarship<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The University of Alberta backs new master&#8217;s admits with a Graduate Entrance Scholarship worth a CAD 17,500 stipend, plus an additional CAD 10,000 specifically for international students to offset tuition and fees. It&#8217;s administered through the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies and awarded to students whose department ranks their admission file highly \u2014 no separate application needed in most cases.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> Newly admitted master&#8217;s students across most departments (PhD students receive a higher CAD 21,000 stipend).<\/li>\n<li><strong>How to get it:<\/strong> Talk to your prospective supervisor and department early \u2014 nominations happen internally during the admissions review.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bonus:<\/strong> Alberta also runs Department Specific Awards, teaching\/research assistantships, and country-specific partnerships (including a well-funded agreement with the China Scholarship Council), so it&#8217;s worth browsing the Faculty of Graduate Studies award database once you&#8217;re admitted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>4. University of Waterloo International Master&#8217;s Award of Excellence (IMAE)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Waterloo built this award specifically for international students entering a research-based master&#8217;s program (thesis or major research paper track). It pays CAD 2,500 per term for up to five terms \u2014 CAD 12,500 in total \u2014 and, importantly, you don&#8217;t submit a separate application. Faculties nominate eligible incoming students automatically based on their admission file.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> International students starting a research-based master&#8217;s at Waterloo, entering in their first term.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why it&#8217;s useful:<\/strong> No extra paperwork, no essay, no interview \u2014 your regular admission application does the work. It also stacks with other internal or external awards like OGS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>5. University of Toronto Graduate Awards (via School of Graduate Studies)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>U of T doesn&#8217;t have a single flagship international master&#8217;s scholarship the way some peer schools do \u2014 instead, its School of Graduate Studies (SGS) runs a searchable database of hundreds of department-level and donor-funded awards, many open to international students at the master&#8217;s level. You filter by citizenship, degree level, and field of study to find what actually applies to you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> Admitted or current graduate students at any of U of T&#8217;s three campuses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Also check:<\/strong> U of T&#8217;s OGS international allocation (see #2) runs through the same SGS portal, and many divisions (Engineering, Rotman, Munk School) layer their own entrance scholarships on top.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Because U of T&#8217;s awards are scattered across departments rather than centralized, the SGS awards search tool is genuinely the fastest way to find what you qualify for \u2014 don&#8217;t rely on general scholarship-listing sites for this one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>6. McGill Graduate Excellence Fellowships and Departmental Top-Ups<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Outside of McCall MacBain, McGill funds many of its research-based master&#8217;s students through department-level Graduate Excellence Fellowships and &#8220;top-up&#8221; awards. Engineering, for instance, offers a McGill Engineering International Tuition Award (MEITA) alongside master&#8217;s top-up funding, and several departments automatically add CAD 5,000 or more to students who arrive with any external scholarship.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> International master&#8217;s students in research-track programs, particularly in engineering and the sciences.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How to get it:<\/strong> Funding is largely need-and-merit based and decided during the admissions review \u2014 strong applicants are simply included by their department, often without a separate form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>7. University of British Columbia Graduate Funding Packages<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>UBC&#8217;s flashy International Scholars Program is undergraduate-only, but graduate applicants shouldn&#8217;t skip UBC \u2014 its Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies coordinates fellowships, research and teaching assistantships, and merit-based awards for master&#8217;s students across departments, plus prestigious options like Affiliated Fellowships that specifically welcome students who aren&#8217;t eligible for the domestic-only Canada Graduate Scholarships.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> Admitted international master&#8217;s students, especially in research-based programs where supervisors have grant funding to offer assistantships.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Because most UBC graduate funding is decided at the department level, message your prospective supervisor before you apply and ask directly what funding is typically offered to incoming international master&#8217;s students in their lab or program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>8. Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships (context for master&#8217;s-to-PhD planners)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Vanier is technically a doctoral award \u2014 CAD 50,000 a year for three years \u2014 and open to international students nominated by a Canadian institution. It doesn&#8217;t fund a master&#8217;s degree directly, but it&#8217;s worth knowing about if your plan is to complete a Canadian master&#8217;s and continue into a PhD, since many students transition straight from a funded master&#8217;s into a Vanier-backed doctorate. Note that the classic Vanier competition has been folded into a new harmonized Canada Graduate Research Scholarship\u2013Doctoral program, so check current program rules before applying.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> Prospective or current doctoral students with strong research potential and demonstrated leadership.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why it&#8217;s on this list anyway:<\/strong> Planning your master&#8217;s supervisor and research direction with an eye toward Vanier\/CGRS-D eligibility later can meaningfully strengthen your longer-term funding picture in Canada.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>9. IDRC Doctoral Research Awards and Partnership Funding (for development-focused fields)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Canada&#8217;s International Development Research Centre funds graduate research connected to development challenges in low- and middle-income countries. While its flagship award targets doctoral research, IDRC-linked partnerships and country-specific programs occasionally extend to master&#8217;s-level applied researchers working with Canadian university partners \u2014 worth a direct check if your field is international development, public health, or environmental policy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> Students from IDRC-eligible countries pursuing development-relevant research, often co-supervised with a Canadian institution.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Note:<\/strong> Eligibility and available funding shift year to year, so confirm current terms on IDRC&#8217;s official site before building an application around it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>10. University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship (UMGF)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The University of Manitoba funds strong incoming and current graduate students through the UMGF, which is open to both domestic and international master&#8217;s and PhD students. Awards are distributed by department and typically range from a few thousand dollars up to a full stipend package when combined with a research or teaching assistantship.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> Master&#8217;s students admitted to a UM graduate program with a strong academic record.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How to get it:<\/strong> Like most Canadian department-level awards, admission and funding decisions are linked \u2014 ask your program directly what percentage of international master&#8217;s students receive a UMGF in a typical year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>11. Dalhousie University Graduate Scholarships<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dalhousie, based in Halifax, offers a mix of Dalhousie Graduate Scholarships and faculty-specific awards open to international master&#8217;s students, particularly in ocean sciences, health, and engineering \u2014 fields where the university has strong research funding. Amounts vary by department but commonly supplement a research or teaching assistantship rather than replacing it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> International students in research-based master&#8217;s programs, especially where Dalhousie has a recognized research strength (marine science is a standout).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Atlantic Canada schools are generally less competitive for funding than the &#8220;big five&#8221; (Toronto, UBC, McGill, Alberta, Waterloo), which can work in your favor if your research fit is strong.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>12. University of Calgary Graduate Awards and CGRS-M (where eligible)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Calgary funds incoming graduate students through department scholarships and, for domestic students, the tri-agency Canada Graduate Research Scholarships\u2013Master&#8217;s (CGRS-M) program. International students aren&#8217;t eligible for CGRS-M itself, but Calgary&#8217;s graduate faculties run parallel internal awards aimed at closing that gap for strong international applicants, particularly in engineering, kinesiology, and energy-related research.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> International master&#8217;s students, especially in STEM fields tied to Calgary&#8217;s energy and health research strengths.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reminder:<\/strong> Always check whether an award you find is restricted to Canadian citizens\/permanent residents before investing time in the application \u2014 Calgary, like most Canadian schools, runs domestic-only and international-eligible awards side by side under similar-sounding names.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>13. York University Graduate Funding and Entrance Scholarships<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>York offers a mix of graduate entrance scholarships and departmental funding packages for incoming master&#8217;s students, along with access to the OGS international allocation. Its Schulich School of Business and Osgoode Hall Law School also run separate, well-funded entrance awards for professional graduate programs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> International master&#8217;s applicants across York&#8217;s faculties, particularly business, law, and social sciences.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why it&#8217;s worth a look:<\/strong> York&#8217;s professional graduate programs (Schulich MBA in particular) tend to offer larger merit-based entrance scholarships than typical research master&#8217;s funding, if a course-based degree is what you&#8217;re after.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>14. Trudeau Foundation Scholarship (for advanced\/interdisciplinary applicants)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation funds outstanding doctoral researchers in the humanities and social sciences, and while it&#8217;s primarily a PhD program, it&#8217;s a name every ambitious Canada-bound graduate student should know \u2014 some Trudeau-affiliated networks and mentorship opportunities intersect with master&#8217;s-to-PhD pipelines at partner universities. If your five-year plan includes a Canadian PhD, understanding Trudeau eligibility while you&#8217;re still doing your master&#8217;s is smart groundwork.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> Doctoral-track researchers in the humanities and social sciences with strong public-engagement records.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why it&#8217;s here:<\/strong> Like Vanier, it&#8217;s a marker worth planning toward rather than something you apply for during a standalone master&#8217;s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>15. Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program (Africa-focused, select universities)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At partner universities \u2014 UBC among them \u2014 the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program funds comprehensive undergraduate and graduate education for talented students from Sub-Saharan Africa, covering tuition, accommodation, travel, and a living stipend, plus mentorship and leadership development. It&#8217;s one of the most generous Africa-focused scholarship programs operating in Canada today.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Who it&#8217;s for:<\/strong> Academically strong students from Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly those who show leadership potential and a commitment to giving back to their home communities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How to apply:<\/strong> Through the specific partner university&#8217;s program page (application processes and available spots vary by institution and year).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Quick Comparison<\/strong><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Scholarship<\/th>\n<th>Level<\/th>\n<th>Value (approx.)<\/th>\n<th>International Eligible?<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>McCall MacBain (McGill)<\/td>\n<td>Master&#8217;s\/professional<\/td>\n<td>Full tuition + $2,300\/month<\/td>\n<td>Yes (dedicated international spots)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ontario Graduate Scholarship<\/td>\n<td>Master&#8217;s\/PhD<\/td>\n<td>$5,000\/term, up to $15,000\/yr<\/td>\n<td>Yes (limited quota)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>U of Alberta Entrance Scholarship<\/td>\n<td>Master&#8217;s\/PhD<\/td>\n<td>$17,500 + $10,000 (intl top-up)<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Waterloo IMAE<\/td>\n<td>Master&#8217;s (research)<\/td>\n<td>$2,500\/term, up to $12,500<\/td>\n<td>Yes (international-only award)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>U of T SGS Awards<\/td>\n<td>Master&#8217;s\/PhD<\/td>\n<td>Varies by award<\/td>\n<td>Yes (many awards)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>McGill Departmental Top-Ups<\/td>\n<td>Master&#8217;s (research)<\/td>\n<td>Varies, often $5,000+<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>UBC Graduate Funding<\/td>\n<td>Master&#8217;s\/PhD<\/td>\n<td>Varies by department<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Vanier CGS<\/td>\n<td>PhD (context for planning)<\/td>\n<td>$50,000\/year x 3<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mastercard Foundation<\/td>\n<td>Undergrad\/Master&#8217;s<\/td>\n<td>Full cost of study<\/td>\n<td>Sub-Saharan Africa only<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><strong>How to Actually Win One of These<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A few patterns show up again and again once you look closely at how Canadian graduate funding works:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apply to programs, not just scholarships.<\/li>\n<li>Contact supervisors before you apply, not after.<\/li>\n<li>Separate &#8220;government\/provincial&#8221; awards from &#8220;university&#8221; awards early.<\/li>\n<li>Watch deadlines, they&#8217;re brutally firm.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t count on one award to cover everything.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>CHECK THESE OUT:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Ben Williams Student Support Grant 2026 in Australia\" href=\"https:\/\/makeoverarena.com\/scholarships\/ben-williams-student-support-grant\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Ben Williams Student Support Grant 2026 in Australia<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Aston University International Scholarships 2026\u20132027 (Up to \u00a322,500) \u2013 Complete Guide, Eligibility &amp; How to Apply\" href=\"https:\/\/makeoverarena.com\/scholarships\/aston-university-international-scholarships\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Aston University International Scholarships 2026\u20132027 (Up to \u00a322,500) \u2013 Complete Guide,&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Next-Gen Wind Turbine Blades PhD 2026 (Fully Funded) \u2013 Study at Brunel University London\" href=\"https:\/\/makeoverarena.com\/scholarships\/next-gen-wind-turbine-blades-phd\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Next-Gen Wind Turbine Blades PhD 2026 (Fully Funded) \u2013 Study at&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Brunel MBA Scholarships 2026\/27: Fully Updated Guide for UK &amp; International Students\" href=\"https:\/\/makeoverarena.com\/scholarships\/mba-scholarships\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Brunel MBA Scholarships 2026\/27: Fully Updated Guide for UK &amp; International&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada has quietly become one of the smartest places on earth to do a master&#8217;s degree.
