on average $600-$700,... mostly depends on your lifestyle
will this include accommodation or not?

yes it will ,, usually students share their dorm room or apartments, generally we live like a pigs in our apartments like 6-7 in 2 bed room apartments, so cost cut down to 400-500$ including everything..

dude average is around 700$ -800$ as 400-500$ single room in basement+104$ for transit+80-100$ for grocery+50-60$ for mobile.

now if you are living like pigs.. 250-300$ for rent, 104+$for transit+50-70$ for grocery+50-60$ for mobile...


its the real cost..nothing less than that for sure..
 
wow 6 to 7 people in a 2 bed room apartment?

that means some people are sleeping in the living room?

i wanna ask, how do u find so many people who are willing to share a 2 bedroom apartment???

And what about the income? and how's job condition?

depends which area you are... we r from scarborough,, worst area in whole canada.. filthy jobless, bad people. crime part of GTA, so hardly any job.. talk toany centennial student, everyone goes to west side of gta for job ...so i am ashamed of my decision to leave etobicoke for this shitty college.. i knw many students from india came, because consultant asked them to do... because those are getting 60% of students first fees a big money, as per senanca it is hardly 10-20% best college in GTA>.. please pray for me before some bullet hits me in scarborough in college..
 
thanks for help,actually I have already booked an one bed room apartment for six months but after that I might switch to sharing FLAT/room,I was only asking about other expenses beside Accommodation,My apartment cost around $1200 per month ,and I will be having $600/month above that to meet my daily expenses.
If u could tell me
1: the rates of meals in restaurant and how much it will cost if i cook at home?
2: travelling
3:and other daily possible expenses.
It would really be helpful
Thanks

rate of meals depends where you want to eat... try not to eat in indian or paki restas...they r costly and having worst food... if you cook or even you got frozen cooked food u can save up to 100-200$ per month on grocery...
travelling only 104 $+ taxi(if you want)..
other daily expenses like .. condom will cost you 1 buck. movie will cost you 10-20$..
