Quebec to triple university fees for students from France

Students from France hoping to take advantage of a partnership extending Quebec’s cheap tuition fees to French citizens will soon be sorely disappointed, reports CBC News.

Quebec International Relations Minister Christine St-Pierre announced recently new undergraduate students from France will have to pay the out-of-province Canadian tuition rate at Quebec universities.

Under the revised agreement, students from France will pay about CA$6,650 (US$5,330) a year, the same amount paid by students from the rest of Canada. French students currently pay the same fees as Quebec students, about CA$2,200. Masters and PhD students from France will continue to benefit from the lower Quebec-resident tuition rates.
