Fees on websites ( canadian universities ) are in canadian dollar right?
Québec is a Province (state) in Canada.
Canada uses Canadian dollars.
“i have heard that there are some agreements between france and canada and my tuition and fees are the same with canadian people is it true?”
Quebec is a province in Canada. Canada is officially a bilingual country (English and French). Quebec is the only province in Canada for which French is the official language. One other province, New Brunswick, is officially bilingual. There are however both English language and French language universities, and a few bilingual universities, in several of the provinces in Canada.
There is an agreement between France and the province of Quebec. For universities in Quebec you pay either the same price as a Canadian citizen, or less. I just noticed earlier today that there is still at least one university in Quebec for which you would pay the same price as a resident of Quebec, which is even less.
“Will i have the possibility to find school about 15 000 per year?”
You should check the web sites of universities in Quebec. Also note that the stated costs will be in Canadian dollars, and that the exchange rate is quiet favourable for you. However, since you are citizen of France, yes given current exchange rates I think that 15,000 Euros is probably enough for any university in Quebec.
So, i pay the reduced price only in QUEBEC ( which is a state in Canada ) otherwise if i go to an university outside of Quebec i will pay the price of an international student right?
And the universities that we were talking about before ( in canada ) are they good?
I love MCgill university but whats the difference between macdonald campus and the downtown campus? Isnt the same university? And i saw that the admission rate is like 46,3%, im dead arent i?
Edit : I came back from their website, they have many schools etc but their requirements are quite high for me… Even in maths, ebcause they said that they will look at my high school schoolreports and during high school i have always been below of 2.0 . But at the final exam of high school i got a 17/20 which is like a 3.8 gpa
Second edit : There is no spring or fall admission ? I have to wait like one more year because im very late
You can only apply to McDonald’s campus, for Agribusiness or Applied Economics. You cannot apply to the downtown campus because your grades aren’t high enough.
The difference between both campuses is that McDonald’s is a real campus, not an urban ‘campus’; it’s in a town near Montreal, and most degrees focus on applied subjects like agronomy, development, food science…
Yes you can apply for Fall 2020; no you cannot apply for January 2020.
The special (low) fee for French citizens is in Quebec only. Everywhere else you pay the international fee.
“So, i pay the reduced price only in QUEBEC ( which is a state in Canada ) otherwise if i go to an university outside of Quebec i will pay the price of an international student right?”
Yes. The only exception that I am aware of is that the University of Ottawa gives reduced tuition for bilingual students. It is also a very good university. You would need to check its web site to see whether it would fit your budget.
Also, Canada refers to its “states” as provinces.
I was able to find information about reduced tuition for students from France on the few web sites that I looked at yesterday. In one case the information was in French, which made it a bit rough for me to read it but obviously would not be an issue for you.
“And the universities that we were talking about before ( in canada ) are they good”
Yes. Canada has a very good university system. In general the universities in Canada are a bit more consistent than in the US. It is hard to go wrong at any university in Canada. Canada does not have anything ranked as high as Harvard, MIT, or Stanford, but they have a lot of schools that are very much worth attending for a strong student. I know several people who did their bachelor’s degree in Canada and then went on to get a graduate degree (master’s or PhD or both) at top schools in the US, including Stanford and Princeton, and who did very well in graduate school and found themselves to be very well prepared for even the top graduate schools in the world.
“I love MCgill university”
One issue with McGill is that admission is heavily dependent upon grades and test scores, and it is one of the most difficult universities in Canada to gain admission to. McGill’s admission rate is higher than the top schools in the US. However, one reason for this is that at least high school guidance counselors in Quebec know what the cutoffs are for admission to McGill, and thus in many cases they know who is going to get in. Thus the students who apply to McGill tend to be academically very strong. The other issue is that it is academically very challenging and stressful.
There are other very good universities in Quebec and there are multiple others that seem like a better fit.
“whats the difference between macdonald campus and the downtown campus”
The downtown McGill campus is right in the middle of Montreal, surrounded by city. It has a bit of a campus, but the distinction between the campus and the city is subtle. Most majors are offered at the main campus. The MacDonald campus is approximately 45 minutes west (longer if the traffic is bad) and is somewhere on the border between rural and suburban. In terms of the number of students the MacDonald campus is a lot smaller. In terms of land area it is quite a bit larger – for example there is a farm there. It is in Sainte Anne de Bellevue at the west end of the Island of Montreal (Montreal is on a large island). Originally the MacDonald campus was largely an agricultural campus. It has only a very limited number of majors.
Concordia is just up the street from McGill’s main campus and is also a very good university. It is however a little bit less stressful and a little bit easier to get admitted to. It is slightly larger than McGill, slightly smaller than the University of Montreal, and also is right in the middle of the city. It has a very wide range of majors.
Bishop’s is a small university in Lennoxville, which is a small town right next to Sherbrooke, almost 2 hours east of Montreal. My younger daughter was looking for a small university, so we visited twice. It is quite nice, but has a very different feel since it is small. It has a bit more of a friendly, compact feeling, and has a very distinct campus. It is referred to as a “primarily undergraduate” university, and is about as close as Canada gets to what in the US we call a Liberal Arts College. We liked it when we visited and found the admissions staff very helpful.
That is it for the English language universities in Quebec. You could also look at the French language universities. I know a lot less about them because no one in my family ever spoke French well enough to seriously consider attending any of them.
Thank you for your answers. Canada looks absolutely gorgeous, im trying to convince my parents. Anyway, is Concordia University good? Because you answered for Mcgill, i really want to know if Concordia is good or not. Beside of this i saw that the world ranking of this university ( concordia ) is 400. Ranking prooves something?
And is there 2 concordia university?
EDIT : I dont understand something, Concordia University Winter term deadlines is November 1, when will i get the answer ? And when will i enter the university? Because to be honest, we have to find a strategy. Like my parents dont want me to wait 1 more year before entering university, they want me to start in winter 2020 idk if its possible
“And is there 2 concordia university?”
There are a bunch of them. There is one in Chicago, one in Wisconsin, one in Nebraska, and probably a few others. There is also a liberal arts college in Bronxville, New York called “concordia college”.
The mention of “concordia university” in this thread refers to the Concordia University that is Montreal.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concordia_University
The Concordia University that is in Montreal is a very good university. It is not as famous as McGill, but is still very good. I am not sure about the others. I am pretty certain that the various Concordia Universities that are in the US have nothing at all to do with the one in Canada.
If you want to start in September 2019, then you were supposed to get your application in by February 1. Thus you are late. However, their web page says “We consider complete applications year round and we give priority to applicants who apply by official deadlines. Late applications will be considered if places are still available for the fall term only”.
As such it is still worth applying, but I would do it soon. You can check the availability of programs here. Most are still open:
https://www.concordia.ca/admissions/undergraduate/programs/availability.html
If you want to start Fall 2019 you can try applying to Concordia now as well as UQAM for Economics.
I want to start in January
And i saw that Concordia University in montreal is 400th in the world, does it mean something?
I really want to go to MCgill or UDEM but im like ‘’ look at your grades … ‘’ If canada isnt possible i have to find somewhere else.
And i dont know if i understand it right but UDEM only look at your ‘’ bac ‘’ notes. BAC is the final high school exam which i succeeded very nicely!
- you can apply to Concordia fo With (January) start.
- to start in January, you must have passed the TOEFL or IELTS with a good score * before July 31*, meaning the latest you can take your first TOEFL/IELTS test is in June.
- your application must be complete before September 1.
World rankings aren’t for undergraduates. They focus on research done by professors, not teaching of undergraduates or undergraduate programs.
McGill: you can ONLY apply to the MCDONALD campus due to your grades.
Okay. But what about UDEM?
Can a good student after 3 years of concordia transfer to USA?*
I love engeneering too! Buti dk if its possible with my grades. µ
EDIT : Which programs is possible for me with my gradeS?
What about the campus? It’s a downtown small one? Will i feel like the USA campus?
What about campus residences?
Is the university in general good?
What about law studies i love this sector too
is it 100% sure that i will go to concordia?
In Canada, Engineering is reserved to S students.
As an ES student you can apply to Economics at UDEM and Concordia. You can also apply to Molson (business) at Concordia. For better chances you can apply for a major rather than for Honours.
If you want to major in Engineering, it’s possible in the US at smaller universities.
You cannot transfer to the US after 3 years. You can apply as a transfer after 3 semesters and start as a 3rd year student (“junior”). You would have to be full pay (no scholarship for international transfers).
You can also graduate and apply to a Master’s degree in the US.
Yeah im planning to transfer to the usa for like a graduate program in private universities to receive scholarship! my parent’s friend came out yersterday and told that, studying business isnt that good, 0 jobs etc… he suggested me engeenering… ( i love this too). Guys im very stressed i dnt understand something in UDEM website. They said that the application deadline for winter is November 1 which means that if im accepted im startign classes the winter ( next to november ? which means 2 months after) or next year’s winter? ( exemple : applying before november 2019, am i starting in winter 2020 or 2021?). I hope that i will integrate concordia in business ! ( i had 18/20 ) in economics
EDIT CONCORDIA REQUIREMENTS FOR Business :
John Molson School of Business (JMSB)
BComm, BAdmin Overall minimum average of 13, with 13 in math
Foundations for Business Certificate Overall score of 12 on first attempt. There is no specific math requirement.
When they say overall score they are talking about my high school diploma or school reports
