   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the current entry requirements, deadlines, and document list on the website. Because programme-specific requirements can differ, confirm the requirements for the exact subject and degree level before applying. The admissions office is the place to confirm any country-specific or visa-related steps.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a fee for international students in the information available here; confirm the current tuition rate with its admissions office. Costs will also depend on the programme and degree level. Living costs in Greater Vancouver should be planned separately and can vary by housing, transport, and day-to-day spending.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not stated in the available information, so confirm it on the official website before applying. If you are moving from abroad, check the exact programme entry requirements, tuition for your degree, documentation, and the steps needed for study permission in Canada. Also confirm which campus your programme uses, since the university has campuses in Burnaby, Surrey, and Vancouver.

   How it compares

   Among 156 universities in Canada, Simon Fraser University stands out as a public research university with three campuses in Greater Vancouver and a programme mix that includes both academic and professional study. Its range is narrower than a broad multi-faculty university, with 30 programmes listed, so it suits students who already have a clear subject area in mind rather than those looking for an undefined general catalogue.
