Collège Ahuntsic — A public CÉGEP in Québec, Canada. A profile for those researching the Québec college system and planning to study abroad.

1. Overview and highlights

The college in Montréal offers a wide range of study areas: science and health; administration, finance, and information technology; engineering; social sciences and justice; and communications and creativity. The campus is located near Crémazie metro and Sauvé station.

2. Location and language of instruction

Reference campus address: 9155, rue Saint-Hubert Montréal (Québec) H2M 1Y8.

3. Choosing the right program type

• Pre-university DEC: typically 2 years, aimed at continuing to university.
• Technical DEC: typically 3 years, vocational training; pathways for further study depend on the specific program and university.
• AEC/continuing education: distinct duration, target audience, and conditions; not equivalent to a DEC.

The list of programs open to international students, enrollment quotas, and campus locations must be verified before submitting an application. This description highlights the school's strengths and does not guarantee that every program is currently accepting international students.

4. Admission requirements

Diplomas, transcripts, and prerequisites are evaluated on a program-by-program basis. Students from Vietnam must prepare translations and academic records according to the requirements of the school or the relevant admissions service. French/English proficiency certificates, minimum scores, entrance exams, portfolios, or interviews may vary; there is no single IELTS score applied to all programs.

These are general network reference figures, not a specific quote from Collège Ahuntsic. Additional fees, insurance, materials, equipment, housing, and living expenses are extra. AEC, part-time studies, or specialized 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 achievement, quotas, and the specific intake; this should not be considered an automatic benefit. You should budget based on the full cost until written confirmation is received.

7. Intake periods and application deadlines

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

8. Study permits and post-graduation plans

Before enrolling, verify the school, campus, and program are on Canada's DLI list; cross-reference Québec's CAQ procedures and study permit requirements based on your case. PGWP eligibility must be verified independently based on the program, timing, and IRCC regulations. Being a public institution or receiving a letter of acceptance does not automatically guarantee a PGWP or permanent residency.

9. Application steps

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