The lower cost of education at major Canadian universities is available to residents only. International students pay dramatically more tuition. At my university, as a Canadian citizen I pay about $7000 a year for my program (mathematics). An international student is looking at $38000 a year. Want to do a more popular program like software engineering? As an international student, you’re looking at $55k per year, not including books, residence, or meals. Maybe not as expensive as some Ivy League schools, but those schools often have extremely generous funding available for low income families.
