Citizenship and residency status
The University will charge the following tuition fees in 2009-2010 which vary according to the residence and citizenship status of the student.
Citizenship/Residency Status
The Ministère de l`Éducation, Loisir et Sport du Québec (MELS) requires all students who are citizens or permanent residents of Canada to provide proof of their status in order not to be charged the international rate of tuition fees and those who wish to qualify for the Québec rate of tuition fees, must ALSO provide proof of Québec residency along with proof of citizenship. Required documents MUST be submitted within the timeframe indicated in the Calendar or at the web site www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments. A list of the categories of Québec residents who qualify for the Québec rate as well as the required application form is available at Legal documents that affect your tuition and registration status.
Students must ALSO report any changes to their status, be it immigration or proof of residency/citizenship, with supporting documents, to the Enrolment Services Office. Requests must be submitted by the last day of classes of the current term in which the change of status has occurred. Documentation received after this time will affect fee rates for subsequent terms only.
If proof of status is submitted after a student has been billed, but before the document submission deadline, the tuition supplement will be waived. Should your tuition status be changed that results in a reduction of fees during the evaluation period, any late payment and/or interest charges accumulated on the difference will also be waived.
