3. Choosing the right program

• Pre-university DEC: typically 2 years, aimed at further university studies.

4. Admission requirements

Diplomas, transcripts, and prerequisites are evaluated based on the specific program. Vietnamese students should prepare translations and academic records as requested by the school or relevant admissions services. Requirements regarding French/English certificates, minimum scores, entrance tests, portfolios, or interviews may vary; there is no single IELTS score that applies to all programs.

This is a general reference for the network, not an official quote from Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe. Ancillary fees, insurance, materials, equipment, housing, and living expenses are additional. AEC, part-time studies, or specialized programs may follow different calculation methods. You must obtain the official fee schedule for your specific program and intake year.

6. Scholarships and exemptions

Scholarships or additional tuition exemptions may be available for eligible international students. Eligibility depends on nationality, program, academic performance, quotas, and intake periods; this should not be considered an automatic entitlement. You should budget based on the full cost until you receive written confirmation.

7. Intake periods and application deadlines

The fall intake should be your first priority. Winter intake and additional program openings depend on the school/campus. Deadlines for international applications may be earlier than domestic ones; check the official calendar for your intended term and allow sufficient time for immigration procedures.

8. Study permits and post-graduation plans

Before applying, check if the school, campus, and program are on Canada's DLI list; cross-reference Québec's CAQ procedures and study permit requirements based on your individual case. PGWP eligibility must be verified independently according to the program, timeline, and IRCC regulations. Attendance at a public institution or receiving a letter of acceptance does not automatically guarantee PGWP or permanent residency.

9. Application steps

1. Select your program, degree type, and campus.
2. Verify academic requirements, language proficiency, and international enrollment status.
3. Prepare documents, translations, and budget; submit through the correct admissions portal.
4. Once accepted, finalize study permit procedures, housing, and travel plans to Canada.
