These are general network reference rates, not a specific quote from Cégep de Trois-Rivières. Auxiliary fees, insurance, materials, equipment, housing, and living expenses are extra. AECs, part-time studies, or specialized programs may have different fee structures. You must obtain the official fee schedule for your specific program and intake year.

6. Scholarships and exemptions

There are scholarship schemes or additional tuition exemptions available for certain eligible international students. Eligibility depends on nationality, program, academic merit, quotas, and intake cycles; these are not guaranteed benefits. Always budget for the full tuition amount until you receive written confirmation of any aid.

7. Intakes and application deadlines

Fall is the primary intake to check. Winter intake and additional program openings depend on the college/campus. Deadlines for international applicants may be earlier than for domestic ones; check the official academic calendar for your intended intake and allow sufficient time for immigration procedures.

Being admitted to a public college does not automatically guarantee a PGWP or permanent residency.
