As an international student, you have obligations related to your immigration status. You must provide the necessary immigration documents to remain enrolled for the duration of your program.

Each term, Université de Montréal must ensure that international students' documents comply with the Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur’s verification rules, as well as those of immigration authorities. The Registrar's Office is responsible for conducting this verification.

In accordance with regulations, an incomplete file (failure to submit or providing expired immigration documents) precludes an international student from being enrolled. Consequently, access to online courses (via the StudiUM application) is revoked, and the university is required to withdraw the student's registration for the current term. 

Cancelling your registration will result in the removal of tuition fees and the loss of medical coverage. However, certain fees may still apply and must be paid, particularly those pertaining to medical coverage for the preceding months. If your tuition fees have already been paid, a credit will be applied to your account. For more details, please consult your Centre étudiant (Student Center).

Identify your situation in the list below to find out which documents are required.

Then, you must upload all documents in the Centre étudiant. Log in and click on the "Tasks" tile to access your list of documents to be uploaded. If no tasks appear in the task list, contact the Registrar's Office.

For more information on how to upload your documents, visit the Submit Supporting Documents page.

For guidance on the steps to follow in order to obtain the required documents, please visit UdeM international's page.

If your situation is not listed in the table below, please contact the Registrar's Office.

To study in Québec, you must be in good standing with both levels of government: Québec (CAQ) and Canada (Study Permit), for the duration of the term.

Remember that your Québec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) and your Study Permit are issued for:

• a specific period, with an end date

• a level of study (cycle d'étude)

• a specific learning institution

Make sure your documents are always valid, and remember to start the renewal process several months before they expire.

For assistance with your renewal process, please visit UdeM international and watch the following videos :

• When to renew your CAQ

To qualify for an international fee exemption, an international student must hold a valid Québec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) and a Study Permit. However, to obtain all the immigration documents required by government authorities, the student must be present on Canadian territory.

For example, a French or Belgian francophone student who has not yet obtained a Study Permit, and who is taking online courses outside Canada, will not be entitled to the international fee exemption. The student will then have to pay the international student tuition fee until their arrival in Canada.

• Make sure that your registration is completed before the beginning of the term.

• Verify the expiry date of your immigration documents on the Données personnelles (Personal Data) page of your Centre étudiant (Student Centre).

• Request your documents in advance.

• Prepare your digital files as soon as possible.

• Please refer to list above to know the required documents according to your situation.

If you have any questions concerning your immigration process, please contact UdeM international.
