University Cheat Sheet: 15 Student Discounts You Can Get In Canada


To get from place to place, you’ll very likely be taking public transport if you aren’t renting a car – and this might actually be the more cost-efficient option! 

At $499, you can travel all around Canada with an unlimited semester pass or enjoy special discounted train fares thanks to Via Rail’s Youth Pass. 

Get to and from Pearson Airport and Downtown Toronto in only 25 minutes with UP Express. 

The best part? You get to save on your fare thanks to the student price! 

Bulk Barn is Canada’s largest bulk food retailer with over 200 stores around the country. 

If you’re picking up some groceries or produce, drop by on Wednesdays to get a 15% student discount. 

In the mood for fast food? Look no further than Dairy Queen to get your craving sorted and enjoy 10% off your meal while you’re at it! 

Do you like to have music on while you’re working on assignments, lounging at home or on-the-go? 

If so, you’ll be pleased to know that you can enjoy uninterrupted ad-free music and podcasts on Spotify at a special student price of $4.99 instead of $9.99 per month. 

As a student, you’ll get to save 50% on Amazon’s Prime service, eligibility for contests and sweepstakes, as well as free two-day shipping for six months – that means getting your school books, supplies and snacks to your doorstep quicker! 

If museums are up your alley, you can plan a trip to the Royal Ontario Museum and spend the day immersing yourself in the exhibits. 

When you flash your student ID, you get to enjoy the student price ($18) for your admission tickets, or if you wish to take a break from studying, students get free entry to the museum on Tuesdays.
