Hello people,
Are there full funded PhD scholarship opportunities in Canada for foreign students who may be based outside Canada?

Thanks
 
Yes - there are some scholarships available at the PhD level. You'll need to inquire directly with the schools you plan to attend.

Usually you get funding in exchange for teaching. Living costs are usually not included. The sciences and bigger universities provide more funding but you're not making a ton of money, you are still in school.

I did my PhD in Canada. You'd probably get about 15k to 20k a year after tuition (so total funding may be about 35-40k), or maybe slightly more if you take on extra teaching assistant duties (these extra positions are very competitive). If you're alone, you can probably get by, but that's really not a lot of money.

I don't know about finance or accounting, but in engineering you generally have three options.

1. Apply for a scholarship from an external organization. Which organizations are available to you will depend on many factors, e.g. your country of citizenship. U.S. citizens can apply for the Fulbright scholarship. German citizens can apply for the DAAD scholarship. You'll have to research which scholarships may be available to you. If you get such a scholarship then applying directly to a professor of your choice will be easy because you won't cost them much.

2. Apply to posted PhD positions. Research institutes and individual professors at universities often publish available PhD positions on their websites. You'll have to check your research institutions of choice periodically to find those positions.

3. Contact professors of your choice directly and ask if they have funding available. This method is the most difficult because professors get hundreds of emails per year. If you choose this approach you must
a) thoroughly research their topic and current projects so that you can explain why you have the background, skills and interest in helping them investigate their project.
b) apply in flawless English. As a PhD student you are expected to learn scientific writing. This style of writing is challenging even for native speakers. Professors will only invest their time into students that they believe can achieve a level of English where they are able to independently produce scientific manuscripts.

That is more likely for science and business. Arts funding is often lower.

Really depends on whether you went to a very good school in your home country and received good marks. For Finance subjects work history is often preferred for PhD students but not necessary. Whether you published will be a factor and whether you can find a professor interested in your thesis. Getting into a program is probably your first step along with finding a supervisor. Once you get in you can start talking to the university about funding.
