1. Overview and Highlights

The school in Longueuil offers pre-university and technical programs, along with community clinics used for practical training in health fields. Specific programs, campus locations, and major requirements should be verified directly with the institution.

2. Location and Language of Instruction

Reference campus address: 945, chemin de Chambly Longueuil (Québec) J4H 3M6.

3. Choosing the Right Program Type

• Pre-university DEC: typically 2 years, aimed at further university studies.
• Technical DEC: typically 3 years, focused on vocational training; pathways to further study depend on the specific program and university.
• AEC/Continuing Education: has its own duration, target audience, and requirements; it is not equivalent to a DEC.

The list of programs open to international students, enrollment quotas, and campuses must be confirmed before applying. The description above highlights the school's strengths and does not guarantee that all programs are currently accepting international applicants.

4. Admission Requirements

Diplomas, transcripts, and prerequisite subjects are assessed based on the program. Vietnamese students should prepare translations and academic records as requested by the school or relevant admissions service. French/English language certificates, minimum scores, tests, portfolios, or interviews may vary; there is no single IELTS score applied to all programs.

5. International Tuition and Budget

These are general reference rates for the network and not a specific quote from Cégep Édouard-Montpetit. Additional fees, insurance, materials, equipment, housing, and living expenses are extra. AEC, part-time studies, or specific programs may have different calculation methods. You must obtain the official fee schedule for your specific program and intake year.

6. Scholarships and Exemptions

There are scholarship mechanisms or additional tuition exemptions available for certain eligible international students. Eligibility depends on nationality, program, academic performance, quotas, and intake periods; this should not be considered an automatic benefit. You should plan your budget based on the full amount until you receive written confirmation.

7. Intakes and Application Timeline

The Fall term is the primary intake to check first. Winter intake and additional open programs depend on the school/campus. Deadlines for international applications may be earlier than those for domestic students; check the official calendar for your intended term and allow sufficient time for immigration procedures.

8. Study Permits and Post-Graduation Plans

Before applying, verify the school, campus, and program 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 separately according to the program, timing, and IRCC regulations. Being a public institution or receiving an acceptance letter does not automatically guarantee a PGWP or permanent residency.

9. Steps for Preparing an Application

1. Select the program, credential type, and campus.
2. Check academic requirements, language proficiency, and international student status.
3. Prepare documents, translations, and budget; submit through the correct admissions portal.
4. Once accepted, finalize study permit procedures, housing, and plans for arrival in Canada.
