Starting next year, fees for Canadians from other provinces will jump from just under $9,000 to around $17,000, Quebec Minister of Higher Education Pascale Déry said
Quebec is nearly doubling university tuition fees for out-of-province anglophone students in the government’s ongoing effort to protect the French language, it was announced Friday.“Quebeckers will no longer pay for the training of English-speaking Canadian students, most of whom return to their province after graduation,” Ms. Déry said in a statement. She said the current fees mean Quebec subsidizes out-of-province students’ education at a cost of more than $100 million per year.
Quebec also announced minimum tuition fees of $20,000 for international students, but universities will retain the right to charge additional discretionary fees. She said the Quebec government would recover an undisclosed lump sum for each non-Quebec student as part of the new tariffs. The tuition hike and lump sums will amount to “at least $110 million” that will be used to “fund measures which will allow us to better support the French-speaking network in attracting international students, particularly in strategic areas for the Quebec economy and our public services,” Ms. Déry said.
