Legal Status

Every student at Polytechnique Montréal must provide the documents required to confirm their identity, their legal status in Canada, and their Quebec residency status no later than the course selection and course change deadline of the academic calendar.

This information is necessary to determine the appropriate tuition fees as well as for the assignment of a permanent code by the Quebec Ministry of Education.
