The Quebec government announced earlier this month that tuition for students from other provinces will rise to $17,000 from $8,992 starting next year.
The changes are expected to disproportionately affect the province’s three English-language universities, which welcome more out-of-province students than their francophone counterparts.Under the plan, Quebec will also collect a first $20,000 paid by international students and reinvest that money in French-language universities.
For Sarah Jewett, a student in international studies and politics at Bishop’s University in Lennoxville, Que., it was important to make the trip to Montreal. As an out-of-province student who is originally from Ottawa, she worries the increase will put education in Quebec out of reach for some of her fellow Canadians. Jewett says if she were applying to Bishop’s now, she wouldn’t be able to “really justify paying double to go out of province.”“It’s the longevity of Bishop’s that will be affected by that and I want to show support for other incoming students that want to come to universities in Quebec.
