Students walk at the entrance to McGill University in downtown Montreal.
The Quebec government made the announcement on Friday, framing it as a move to stop subsidizing students from the rest of Canada who come to Quebec’s English-language universities for a cheaper education.Thousands of out-of-province students who attend institutions like McGill University has an "anglicizing effect" on the Montreal area, according to the province's minister of the French language Jean-François Roberge.
The minimum cost for out-of-province students to study in Quebec is currently set at $8,992. With the change, it will rise to about $17,000, said Pascale Déry, the province's minister of higher education. English-language universities such as Concordia University have a higher proportion of out-of-province and international students than French-language universities in Quebec do.
Fees will also increase for international students, but Déry did not provide an exact number increase for them.
