Applying for a Certificat d’acceptation du Québec for studies

You must complete the Application for a Québec Acceptance Certificate for Studies form. The only valid form is the form available online or printed in January 2006 or thereafter. If you use an earlier version, there could be a delay in processing your application.

Enclose payment of required fees.

Enclose the required documents applicable to the country in which you are currently residing or staying:

For minor children (under age 18) who will be studying, you must also provide the original documents or copies applicable to their situation.

N.B.: By law, the Ministère de l’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles (MICC) cannot release information pertaining to you to anyone (including your parents, if you are 18 years of age or over) without your authorization.

To authorize an individual or an organization to obtain information regarding your Application for a CAQ for studies, or to designate a person to represent you, you must include with your application an Authorization (PDF, 44 Kb) for this individual or organization.

Send your complete file to the Service aux étudiants étrangers (foreign students service) in Montréal.

If you have satisfied the prerequisites, a CAQ for studies will be issued in your name. The CAQ is valid for the duration of your program of study up to a maximum of 37 months.

USEFUL INFORMATION

Make sure you have enclosed all the required documents. If any documents are missing, you will be required to provide them, which will delay the processing of your application.
