Laval University
Join the hundreds of students who embark on a journey to Laval University each year!
Whether you aim for a student exchange, an internship, a dual-degree program at the master’s level, or joint supervision at the doctoral level, several programs are available to you.
Student exchanges are mobility stays of one or two semesters that allow you to enrich your academic journey by offering the opportunity to take courses at another university as part of your education.
It is also possible to maintain a connection with your home university while obtaining a master’s or doctoral degree from Laval University.
Different agreements allow students to obtain a dual-degree by completing part of their studies at their home institution and the second part of their curriculum at Laval University. The pathways offered in this framework vary according to the signed agreements.

Have you thought about the possibility of staying in Canada after obtaining your diploma? It’s possible through the post-graduate work permit application. This will allow you to apply your acquired knowledge and gain professional experience within the Canadian job market.
The current labor shortage in Quebec creates unique opportunities, facilitating job searches and offering promising prospects for those who wish to settle, work, and make a living here.
Moreover, starting in 2023, the Quebec government will exempt international students outside of Montreal from excess tuition fees, aligning them with Quebec student rates (approximately $200 per college session and $3000 per university session). This measure aims to attract foreign students to regions to address the labor shortage and regionalize immigration, covering about forty in-demand programs.

Steps to studying in Quebec City
When considering pursuing your studies in Quebec, you must take into account two essential elements: the study permit and tuition fees.
The study permit is a crucial step for international students, authorizing you to study legally in Canada. You can check here for all the necessary information for your study permit application.
As for tuition fees, they may vary from one institution to another, depending on the chosen program. Each institution may have different rates based on the nature of the courses and associated additional benefits. We recommend getting well-informed about these aspects via the educational institution that interests you, to judiciously plan your studies and make the most of your educational experience in Quebec.
