INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Admission Grades 9-12 and Secondary 3 to 5

We want to ensure that Bourget College/Collège Bourget will be a good fit for your child and your family. The admission process helps our school get a full sense of who your child is before granting admission. It is also intended to help parents make an informed and appropriate decision on enrolment.

Decisions will be made after studying the applicant's academic file.  An individual interview (in English or in French) with the Admission Committee is part of the admission process.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

The Admissions Committee will consider the student’s past and current school reports (grades and comments), the presentation video, and the individual interview (English language proficiency, motivation and attitude, relevance of topics covered, ability to express his/her personality and interests).

Based on available space and student's academic profile, the decision could be admitted, waitlisted, or refused.

Additional information


REGISTRATION FEES PAIEMENT

Upon acceptance and completion of the Educational Services Agreement, a payment of CAD $2,250 is required. This amount covers registration costs, including the application for the Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ).

Collège Bourget accepts international payments through an online payment portal powered by Flywire. This platform allows you to track your payment from start to finish.


PROVINCIAL ATTESTATION LETTER

The college will apply via Immigration Quebec

for an Acceptance Certificate of Quebec (CAQ) for your child on your behalf. A list of documents to be completed or provided will be sent to you.  Once the application is submitted, it takes approximately one month to get a decision. 


STUDY PERMIT

International students coming for more than one semester must obtain a Canadian study permit to attend one of our academic programs.  Two options are available:

  1. Families can apply on their own via Immigration and Citizenship Canada.
  2. Or the College can recommend an accredited Immigration Lawyer.

Processing time varies by country.  Processing times are updated on the Government of Canada website.


Insurance coverage

All international students must have health and hospitalization insurance for the duration of their studies in Québec.  This mandatory health insurance is purchased by the College on your behalf. It provides comprehensive coverage for health care expenses while studying at Collège Bourget (approximately CAD $750).

Information about the policy and coverage is available via StudyInsured.

Refund and cancellation policy

Once the student is registered, the notice of withdrawal must be done in writing to admissions@cbourget.ca

  • The CAD $2,250 administration fee is non-refundable even if the student does not arrive for the beginning of the school year or leaves during the year.
  • In the event that the study permit is refused, a reimbursement of $1,000 of the registration fees will be issued upon presentation of the refusal letter from Immigration Services.

If a student leaves school after September 1st, for whatever reason, including expulsion, parents are financially responsible for paying all expenses incurred at the time of departure, as well as tuition and service costs until the end of the full month in which the services were rendered. For students receiving financial assistance, it will be applied to the last month of the contract when calculating the amount of any applicable reimbursements.

In addition, in the event that the student has already paid for the school year, all unpaid services will then be reimbursed in proportion to the days spent at the school, excluding tuition fees.
