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 <\/strong>(EED) is either accredited by the Minist\u00e8re de l'\u00c9ducation et de l'Enseignement sup\u00e9rieur or any other Quebec ministry. This admission is mandatory to obtain a Certificat d'acceptation du Qu\u00e9bec (CAQ) and to benefit from Canada's right to stay and study.<\/p>\n\n\n Here is a short guide with links to the various official administrative services that will help you prepare your application to study for free in Quebec.<\/p> A Designated Educational Institution (DEI) is an institution authorized by a provincial or territorial government to accept international students.<\/p> <\/p> To apply for admission to a facility, go to this link: quebec.ca<\/a>..application-admission<\/a><\/p> <\/p> The list of establishments is available in this link : canada.ca\/en\/immigration-...er\/liste-etablissements<\/a><\/p> At the bottom of the page, select Qu\u00e9bec, to display all authorized establishments in Qu\u00e9bec. <\/a><\/p> <\/p><\/li> Find out about different ways to finance your studies in Quebec: scholarship programs, additional tuition waivers, international agreements and conventions.<\/p> Follow this link for more information: quebec.ca..international-student-help <\/a><\/p><\/li> A study permit is required in most cases for foreign students wishing to study in Canada.

It is offered by several of the Ministry's partner organizations in Quebec.<\/p> For more information, click here: quebec.ca\/educa..get-help<\/a><\/p><\/li> It's possible to find a job on your university campus, either in the offices or on the premises of your educational institution. <\/p> You can also work outside your institution as part of a paid or unpaid internship.
