COST OF LIVING AT THE POLYTECHNIC OF MONTREAL

Just as with other European countries, the Canadian government is quite particular about the lifestyle and welfare of its students, and for this reason, scholars are expected to have a certain amount of money with them. This money is intended to be used to evaluate how comfortably you can be without breaching the rules around the permit a student gets on his/her visa. Some scholarship donors do not allow their recipients to take up jobs to assist themselves, so the government would not allow a recipient of such a scholarship into the institution if the student doesn’t have the estimated amount of money deemed fit by the government to cater for the student’s needs.
