Co-op opportunities are available across business, engineering, computing, sciences and agri-food, allowing students to gain multiple paid work experiences and build relevant Canadian work history before graduation.
Strong Financial Support and Tuition Stability
The university provides significant financial support, with C$14.1 million awarded to international students through scholarships, bursaries and work-study programmes in 2023/24. Major awards such as the Dr. Franco J. Vaccarino President’s Scholarship offer up to C$42,500, and annual tuition increases for continuing international students are capped at 5%, helping students plan long-term costs more effectively.

I am incredibly grateful to PFEC and especially to my counselor, Mehedi Hassan, for their exceptional support throughout my journey of obtaining a USA visa. Their guidance and expertise made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
PFEC demonstrated outstanding professionalism, efficiency, and commitment to delivering on their promises. Mehedi Hassan was instrumental in providing personalized assistance and ensuring that every step of the process was handled with care and precision. I highly recommend PFEC for their excellent services and unwavering dedication to helping students achieve their goals. Thank you for making this dream a reality!
I just want to say a big thank you to PFEC for supporting me throughout this whole process. From applications to documents to the visa, they guided me at every step and were always there whenever I needed help. I also want to thank my agent foysal bhai. He helped me unconditionally whenever I needed him.
I’m really grateful for their support, and I would definitely recommend PFEC to anyone planning to study in Australia.
My name is Abdul Deriya, and I recently received my Dubai student visa. I got admission to Manipal University for B.Tech in Civil Engineering. I would like to give special thanks to Jolly Ma’am and PFEC Global for supporting me throughout the entire process, from counselling to visa approval. I visited many local consultancies in Ahmedabad, but I did not receive the proper guidance I was looking for. Jolly Ma’am guided me clearly at every step and helped me secure a 4 lakh amount of scholarship as well. I am very satisfied with the support and professionalism of the PFEC counsellor team. Thank you to PFEC Global and Jolly Ma’am for making my study abroad journey smooth and successful.
