The institution in Sainte-Thérèse offers a wide range of pre-university, technical, and continuing education programs. Academic support and student life activities are geared toward both university preparation and professional development.

2. Location and Language of Instruction

Campus address for reference: 100, rue Duquet Sainte-Thérèse (Québec) J7E 3G6.

3. Choosing the Right Program Type

• Pre-university DEC: Typically 2 years, aimed at continuing to university studies.

• AEC/Continuing education: Distinct duration, target audience, and requirements; 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 all programs are currently accepting international students.

4. Admission Requirements

Diplomas, transcripts, and prerequisites are assessed on a per-program basis. Vietnamese students 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 that applies to all programs.

5. International Tuition and Budget

CÉGEP system reference table 2026–2027, before exemptions:

This is a general reference for the network, not an official quote from Collège Lionel-Groulx. Ancillary 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 citizenship, program, academic performance, quotas, and intake cycles; these are not automatic entitlements. You should budget for full costs until written confirmation is received.

7. Intake Periods and Application Deadlines

The Fall intake is the primary one to check. 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 Permit and Post-Graduation Plans

Before registering, check that 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. Post-Graduation Work Permit (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. Application Steps

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