Studying
Not only is Quebec the largest of the Canadian provinces, it also distinguishes itself as the stronghold of French-speaking culture in North America. Immigration to Quebec is particularly suitable for French speakers who wish to study, live or work in a French-speaking environment within the context of Canada's high standard of living and attractive landscape.
Each year some 25,000 international students come to study in Québec's French or English-speaking institutions.
To gain admission to higher education, i.e. university, in Quebec you must:
