Check this website:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/designated-learning-institutions-list.html

You select the province and you'll get the list of all colleges/universities in that province. It shows it it's a designated learning institution and if it provides a PGWP. If you want to get something around 10k (I highly doubt you'll get something lower than that), search for a college and in not so popular provinces, like the Atlantic for example. Just make sure it provides a PGWP.
thanks,

You get what you pay for in general. Travel will be more expensive to get there and part-time jobs may be difficult to find.
thanks for reply. I know that there is low chance in IT industry and will be difficult to get job. But money requirements is too much for international students, I have to show to the council full payment for collece(2years) +10K for living cost. That's why I'm looking for cheapest colleges.

You may end up paying an extra 500-1000 for transportation to get to the school and there isn't any public transportation in many of these smaller areas. Finding a part-time job may not be possible or a summer job. Minimum wage is also lower. It's not as simple as looking at tuition.

what do you advice? Start to save money, after that take expensive one for example in BC or Ontario? People saying that it is will be hard to get visa for college if I have already Bacheolur degree diploma. What do you think about that?

Would probably avoid BC, the GTA and maybe Ottawa which would be the most expensive areas. Have no idea what your background is but your choice of degree must make sense and lead to career advancement. Would likely stick to a midsized community versus a very small more remote community.

That may raise red flags since it is such a departure from your previous studies and there are many countries that provide IT education for a fraction of the cost. Not sure what is your home country.
