What is cost of attendance for an American student at a Canadian university these days? I get the impression that an applicant shopping for need-based financial aid offers (most applicants I know) has better chances of finding an affordable place at a United States private university, which is what seeded the list in my poll.

Canadian schools all post their tuition on their websites.
Actually, Canadian schools are still cheaper than private, even if you are foreign.
Waterloo Engineering Coop: $28,527.94/year
Waterloo Math/Science Coop: About $20,000/year
NOTE: You will for sure make most of that back with Waterloo's coop program. My friend worked at Google, VMware and others.
Other top Canadian schools with lower international student tuition:
- UBC
- McGill
- McMaster
- Queens *(<- Heard this school is really, really tough)
Don't go here:
- U of Toronto: This is a very UN-entrepreneurial school. Good reputation but trust me, you don't want to go there. It is just too theoretical and math based. I don't mean like studying RSA. I mean like solving the proofs behind every mathematical element of RSA, and proofs are sometimes multiple choice. Really, really only for those with a serious love of theoretical mathematics.
