hi, sorry, i don't know of the details of the doctoral-stream MA.. just that it's very competitive and it's funded.
i heard UBC is rather stingy on the funding. i think i read on their website that for internationals they sometimes reduce the tuition down to what canadian students pay. there are a few folks here who are currently doing their MAs in UBC right now, who might better answer your question. I don't think any MA programmes in canada usually fund their students, for one thing it's not expensive, it's only for 1 year, and those i've heard of who got funding (people from my school at least) were all through external scholarships granted by the government (15-18k). i'm not exactly sure if the school itself funds some students at MA level. i don't think they do, most of the time. but i might be wrong.
