POLICIES ON FRENCH
Anyone educated outside of Quebec must pass a French Test before entering a University Program.
In case of failure, the candidate must enrol in a French course to upgrade his or her level of French proficiency.
These upgrade courses are intended for Francophones and are very difficult for Non-Francophones. This is why the Certificate offers French courses tailored to the needs of Non-Francophones.
