Waivers from Tuition for International Students

Quebec provides exclusive international tuition waivers for students coming from overseas in an effort to entice them to pursue postsecondary education in the province. In general, tuition fees unique to international student must be paid by foreign students who enter Quebec on a study permit in order to enroll in a public college and get a degree. These costs vary by program, but on average an overseas student may expect to pay about $17,000 in college tuition and about $24,000 in undergraduate tuition per year. Frequently, these expenses do not cover enrollment and admission fees, health insurance, or textbooks. The price of education in Quebec may consequently rise to an unaffordable level.

It is a little-known fact that Quebec provides excellent advantages to foreign students who want to study there. Some have been in place for a long time, while others have only lately been implemented. The list of student groups that qualify for exemptions from Quebec’s increased tuition rates for international students studying abroad is provided below.

Finally, if their nation or international organization is a signatory to a student mobility agreement, many international students are also qualified for a waiver from paying additional tuition fees. It is best to first confirm with the governmental bodies that oversee these exemptions as the selection criteria differ by nation and agreement. The majority of the people in Quebec, a French-speaking bastion in North America, speak French. International students have a rare opportunity to experience a rich culture, have access to a globally recognized education, and interact with some of the most accomplished instructors and intellectuals in the world thanks to the province’s extraordinary tuition exemptions.
