Learning French in your country of departure

You will find it useful to acquire a good knowledge of French in your country of departure.

To help you do so, several agreements with language schools exist around the world, some with local Alliance française schools.

The lessons given in these schools will also help you better understand Québec society thanks to document collections on Québec. Tuition fees are your responsibility.

Do you want to apply for immigration?

Québec considers knowledge of French an important selection criterion for immigrants.

Immigration candidates with insufficient knowledge of French to be selected may be referred to certain language schools.

After you make your decision to immigrate to Québec, enroll in a recognized French language school and increase your chances of being selected.

Are you waiting for your visa?

Learning a language takes time. You and members of your family should start learning French as soon as possible. The time spent studying the language before your departure will help you integrate more quickly in Québec.

Are you a refugee?

If you can, enroll in a French course before you arrive in Québec. Members of your family will also benefit from acquiring knowledge of French as soon as possible.
