Canada is among the top study destination for Nigerian students.
Studying in Canada will give you access to a world-class education.
Like in the US and UK, there are many world-class universities to study in Canada.
Many Nigerian students do not apply to study in Canada because of the perceived high tuition fee.
University tuition fee in Canada is cheaper than in the US and UK by over 20%.
According to Statistics Canada, international undergraduate students pay an average of $14 in arts and humanities programs.
In this post, I will walk you through the cheapest universities in Canada for Nigerian students.
