Becoming a Quebec Resident ???

<p>Someone help me!!! Hopefully harpgirl27 reads this too!!!</p>

<p>Before accepting my McGill offer, I have a few questions about tutiton. I'm from ontario, so obviously I have to pay out of province tuition first year.</p>

<p>[1] Is there any way to apply for Quebec residency?</p>

<p>[2] If I become a Quebec resident, can I still apply for Ontario medical/law/business schools?</p>

<p>If anyone can provide me with some insight, or direct me to a website, I would greatly appreciate it! :)</p>

<p>I'm sure you can apply for Quebec residency, but you wouldn't qualify for Quebec tuition rates unless you've lived in Quebec for at least a year before September 2005. And then I think you're stuck with that rate for the remaining years, although I'm not sure about that part. And about applying too other graduate schools, I had no idea that your province of residency had anything to do with applying to grad school.</p>

<p>I could be completely wrong, but I was under the impression that all you needed was a Quebec address for a specific period of time (6 mths, 1 yr?). I have a friend in his 3rd year at McGill from Ontario and I'm pretty sure he's started to pay Quebec tuition fees. He never came home in the summer during is 1st and 2nd yr, so I assumed he bought an apartment to claim residency status. </p>

<p>I'm interested in this too....hopefully someone knows!</p>

<p>I don't know, but if you can pay Quebec residence fees after first year that's probably the reason why McGill doesn't have enough money for maintenance and stuff, lol. Quebec residence tuition is ridiculously low. And housing isn't that bad either.</p>

<p>You are eligible to be a Quebec resident if you have lived in Quebec for over a year and have held other status other than a student visa (I don't think its eligible) you'll have to contact immigration Quebec about that...</p>

<p>Or you could just marry a Quebecois... always the way to go!</p>

<p>Les Quebecois...</p>

<p>C'est un bon chois (choice? sp?)</p>

<p>choix :)--------------------</p>
