University of Ottawa is much better than University of Calgary. But you would need to understand where you will have better prospects for job? Accept this offer as of now and start your visa processing. Once you come to Canada, change your university. But again, University of Calgary has no good reputation in Alberta.

Haha..That's fine. Don't worry. I was just being sarcastic..When somebody asks my status, he usually gets on my hit list...

You will need to have education loan that would suggest that you are all approved by bank for your lodging, tuition fees etc. Education loan is safest from immigration perspective. Fees is different per semester for different courses. If it shows $6000 then it should be it excluding UPass, Health insurances and any taxes. $6000 would only be your tuition fees and your incidental fees will be different. With all that it should be around $6500 - $6800.
