University of Toronto: international tuition 61,720 CAD per year, one-year total cost 64,006 CAD. Merit scholarships are open to international students. Need-based aid is not. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6.5, Duolingo 120.
International first-year students can receive merit scholarships, many of which are considered automatically with admission. However, U of T does not provide direct financial aid to international students, while international need-blind admission and a university-wide CSS/aid-form requirement remain unclear.
Getting in. The school has not published an admit rate or the SAT range of admitted students. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. For English, the school asks for IELTS 6.5+ or Duolingo 120+. If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally. A Vietnamese high-school diploma gets you straight into first year.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 64,006 CAD, before any scholarship. 9 scholarships are confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear. Health insurance is 948 CAD a year.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 15/1. You apply through Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC). How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.
