I hold a CSQ (Certificat de selection du Quebec/Certificate of Selection) for Quebec residency but I am not yet a permanent resident of Canada. Am I entitled to Quebec residency tuition?
In most cases, a student is not eligible. A student must become a permanent resident of Canada first before being able to prove Quebec residency. You will be assessed international tuition until your permanent residency of Canada is officially approved. The legal status change will only be made as of the present term of registration. No retro-active changes will be made. Note: there are some specific CSQs that are eligible for an international student fee exemption but they must have the appropriate category and processing center (see exemption page at www.mcgill.ca/student-records/fees/exemption/ for all the requirements). If the CSQ does not have them, then you are not eligible for the exemption.
