Cost of education

Depending on your citizenship and place of residence, you may have access to tuition exemptions, merit scholarships, or financial aide in partnership with your region of origin. Tuition fees vary depending on programs of study and international students must pay them every semester. If you have French nationality and you do not live in another Canadian province at the time of your application, you will be exempt from international student tuition fees when you enroll at cégep. If you are the spouse or dependent child of a person whose main purpose of stay in Quebec is to work and who holds an employer-specific work permit or a post-graduation work permit, you will be exempt from international student tuition fees when you enroll at cégep.
