Any foreign student planning to study in Quebec for more than 6 months as part of a training cycle must be admitted to or enrolled in a recognized educational institution (designated educational institution). A designated educational institution designated (EED) is either accredited by the Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur or any other Quebec ministry. This admission is mandatory to obtain a Certificat d'acceptation du Québec (CAQ) and to benefit from Canada's right to stay and study.
