Immigration formalities

No process is required for Canadian citizens and permanent residents. International students must follow immigration procedures to plan for their arrival in Canada.

If you reside outside Canada, before you arrive in the country, you will need to have:

A Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ)
A study permit issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
In some case, a work permit for internships issued by the IRCC;
In some cases, an entry visa from the Government of Canada or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)

Be sure to check deadlines! Since immigration procedures can take several months, we recommend that you start this as soon as you receive your letter of admission. If these formalities are not completed in time, or if the application processing period is closed for the desired term, you will have to postpone your admission to a later session.

Although application deadlines may be extended for certain programs, you must submit your application by:

• April 1st for the fall session

• August 1st for the winter session

• December 1st for the summer session

Important!
Please ensure you submit all your admission documents by the specified deadlines to avoid your application beeing closed.
