This is a general reference for the network and not a specific quote for Cégep André-Laurendeau. Additional fees, insurance, materials, equipment, housing, and living expenses are extra. AEC, part-time studies, or specialized programs may have different fee structures. You must obtain the official fee schedule for the correct program and academic year.

6. Scholarships and Waivers

There are scholarship mechanisms or additional tuition fee waivers for some eligible international students. Eligibility depends on nationality, program, academic achievement, quotas, and recruitment cycles; these should not be considered automatic benefits. Budget based on the full amount until written confirmation is received.

7. Intake Periods and Application Deadlines

The fall semester is the primary intake to check. Winter intake and additional open programs depend on the college/campus. Deadlines for international applications may be earlier than for domestic ones; check the official calendar for your intended term and allow time for immigration procedures.

8. Study Permit and Post-Graduation Plans

Before registering, check that the college, campus, and program are on Canada's DLI list; verify Québec's CAQ procedures and study permit requirements based on your specific case. PGWP eligibility must be checked separately based on the program, timing, and IRCC regulations. Being a public institution or receiving a letter of acceptance does not automatically guarantee PGWP or permanent residency.
