Kwantlen Polytechnic University

KPU has student housing support services. Most students live off-campus in Surrey, Langley, or Newton areas (CAD 850–1,150/month shared). Surrey's Indian community extensively supports new student arrivals through community and cultural networks.

KPU's nursing program has academic advisors, clinical placement coordinators, and a well-developed international student support structure. The large Indian student body means strong peer networks and active Indian student associations.

University of Victoria

UVic provides on-campus residence options, while students also rent shared homes and apartments in neighbourhoods around the campus and wider Victoria. The university's international guide gives a 2025–2026 single-room residence and meal-plan estimate of CAD 16,102 for eight months; housing, food, books, travel and personal costs are additional to tuition and vary by room type and availability. Apply for residence early and confirm current rates directly with UVic.

International students can use UVic orientation and international advising, while programme offices provide academic or graduate-secretary support. Graduate applicants are generally expected to review programme requirements and, where applicable, contact potential supervisors before applying. Co-op, career, accessibility, wellness, library and student-association services provide additional academic and transition support.
