  3. I thought you said “free” which the title of this article states. So what is all these fees that I’m seeing. The minimum fee I’m seeing is about $5000 which in naira can be converted to about 1.7 million naira; this can get you at least 2 masters in Nigeria. it’s either you readdress the article title as “cheap Canadian universities or simply delete it.
