Concordia does not offer a full-payment discount but charges a CAD 25 (INR 1,563) monthly late fee on any unpaid balance, so bank-transferring via Convera or Flywire five working days before the deadline is the safe rhythm.
For an Indian family budget, a two-year MSc at Concordia University, Montreal lands near INR 32 to 40 Lakhs all-in including living costs in Canada, and a four-year Engineering UG programme sits around INR 1.30 to 1.45 Crore including living, permit fees, and mandatory health cover.

Montreal is one of the most affordable large cities in Canada for international students. A single student living in a shared apartment near Concordia University, Montreal’s Sir George Williams (SGW) downtown campus or Loyola campus in NDG budgets CAD 1,500 to 1,800 (INR 93,750 to INR 1,12,500) per month. Concordia’s own recommended annual living budget is CAD 15,120 (INR 9.45 Lakhs), which fits a modest lifestyle in a shared unit.
| Expense | Monthly (CAD) | Monthly (INR) | Annual (INR) | Notes for Indian Students |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rent (shared 2BHK near SGW or Loyola) | 700 to 900 | INR 43,750 to 56,250 | INR 5.25 to 6.75 Lakhs | Guy-Concordia, NDG, and Verdun neighbourhoods work best. Rent is 30 to 40% cheaper than Toronto for a similar unit. |
| Groceries | 400 | INR 25,000 | INR 3.00 Lakhs | Indian groceries at Marche Bombay and Patel Grocers on Jarry East. Costco run once a month is standard. |
| Utilities and internet | 100 | INR 6,250 | INR 75,000 | Split with roommates. Hydro-Quebec electricity plus Videotron or Bell internet. |
| Transit (STM Opus student pass) | 60 | INR 3,750 | INR 45,000 | Under-25 discount card. Bus and metro to both campuses. |

Note: Winter clothing is a one-time first-year cost of CAD 400 to 600 (INR 25,000 to INR 37,500) for a proper minus-25 jacket, boots, and thermals. Montreal winters are colder than Toronto or Vancouver, and skipping this line item is the most common budgeting mistake Indian first-years make. Buy in November after arrival, not before departure.
Housing costs vary sharply by lease start date. Signing a lease effective 1 July is Montreal’s provincial moving day, and prices spike. Winter 2027 arrivals landing in late December can negotiate 5 to 10% below asking rent on units that have sat vacant during the December turnover. Visit student accommodation in Canada page for more information.
Currency Tip: Your first tuition instalment for Winter 2027 falls due at registration in November 2026. Book a forex card, not a wire transfer, for tuition remittance and living cost transfers, it saves 2 to 3% versus SBI or HDFC wire fees. If you are targeting Fall 2027, set up a forex card by February 2027 and layer three or four INR-to-CAD purchases across the pre-departure window to average out rate volatility.
