+ Policy concerning tuition fees for Canadian residents and permanent residents of Canada
Explanation
The Government of Quebec requires the province’s universities to charge differential tuition fees to all Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada born outside Quebec and deemed to be non-residents of Quebec. This government policy aims to standardize Quebec’s tuition fees with those in effect in the other provinces of Canada.
As such, students deemed to be non-residents of Quebec or who have not provided a birth certificate attesting to their place of birth must pay Quebec tuition fees plus a fixed amount of $117.76 per credit.
1. A student wishing to be exempt from these fees must present one of the following documents:- A Québec Selection Certificate (QSC) or an official letter from the Ministère de l’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles attesting that the student has a valid QSC (some conditions apply)
- A student loan certificate issued by the Student Aid department of the Ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport du Québec for the current year, or for a previous year, assuming that the student has studied in Quebec ever since
- A letter or other document attesting to the fact that the student belongs to a native community living within Quebec
2. A student who is unable to provide one of the above-mentioned documents may refer to the form entitled “Attestation of Québec Residence Status,” which details each of the situations that could enable him or her to benefit from the status of Quebec resident. If eligible, the student need only check one box on the form, include the requested supporting documents and drop them off at the Office of the Registrar.
Only students who have provided evidence proving that they are entitled to Quebec resident status will be exempt from paying the differential tuition fees for Canadian students.
The change in status applies only as of the term for which the documents were provided to the Office of the Registrar; they may not be applied retroactively to previous terms.The Government of Quebec requires Quebec universities to charge differential tuition fees to all Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada born outside Quebec and deemed to be non-residents of Quebec.
