For Indian students, Northern's main draw is cost: most diplomas are estimated at about CA$17,377 a year for Fall 2027, including ancillary fees, which is low for Ontario. Popular choices include Computer Engineering Technician, Business – Accounting, the three-year engineering technology diplomas and Practical Nursing. The northern campuses are in small mining and forestry towns, so check part-time work and housing early.
