Hi, People tend to manage to pay fees but it is very rare. If you are not comfortable working for long hours with high stress and high pay it is not recommended to force yourself into doing jobs that might hinder in your studies. University of Alberta is in top 5 best Canadian universities. It's rank is 5th. They have an acceptance rate of little over 50% so even if it is a tough competition you will certainly get into the university. Your tuition fees might be more or less depending upon what you do there and how you live. For example living in university's hostel would be very costly where as living in multi family homes and sharing it would cost you even less. Its QS world ranking is 119 it is really a good university in terms of all its rankings. Hope this helps. If you still have doubts feel free to comment.
