  • When I was a student, i used to live near the university, not in campus housing, as it was tough to get into. I and a friend rented an apartment for the first 8 months, and then for the next year, 4 friends rented a whole house with 2 bedrooms, 1 hall, and 1 kitchen. We found both the accommodation through facebook marketplace.
  • First apartment rent was 600 CAD per month; second house per head rent was 550 CAD per month excluding the utilities. After including the utilities, it can be 700-750 CAD for both the accommodations
  • Winter was the major challenge in finding the apartment, Canada's winter being harsh and we had to visit before confirming the rental place; it was tough to travel in such harsh winter.
  • Try your luck in campus housing; if not, stay near the university for the university vibe, though rent would be higher but would be helpful in winters.
  • Both the accommodations were a 10-min bus ride to the university or a 20-min walk to the university. Most Indian students stay near the university.
