Confirmation of Quebec Resident Status

The rules that apply to the definition of Québec resident status are set by the Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur. Students are responsible for confirming their status and providing their educational institutions with the required documents.

If you do not qualify for Québec resident status or do not provide the required documents upon registration, you must pay the additional tuition fees applicable to students who are not deemed residents in Québec.

Students who do not have Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status are subject to International tuition fees.

Only students with a student visa and C.A.Q. valid until December 23, 2024, and medical insurance are permitted to register in credit courses. Documentation must be presented at the time of registration.
