Improving your language level is important to succeed at Polytechnique Montréal, both academically and socially. We have courses to help you. Don't hesitate to register!

  • The course SSH0345 – Pratique du français Ă©crit is for you if you already speak French and you wish to significantly develop the quality of your written expression (grammar, syntax, etc.). Two schedules are available. Please note that SSH0345 is not a course for beginners.
  • SSH3351 – Anglais pour ingĂ©nieurs 1 (Elementary level to Intermediate - 1 level) and SSH3352 – Anglais pour ingĂ©nieurs 2 (Intermediate - 2 level) are tailor-made courses, depending on your language level, with reminders of grammar and technical vocabulary. They will allow you to improve your understanding of technical documents and improve your oral skills. A placement test will be held during the first class of the semester to make sure that you are in the appropriate level.

Immigration procedures

At this stage, you should have your CAQ and have also received your acceptance letter for a Study Permit.

⚠️WARNING! If you don't have all the required immigration authorizations to study in Canada, don't get on a plane! Why? You could be denied entry to Canada at the border; the Registrar's Office at Polytechnique will not be able to maintain your registration to the fall semester without your required authorizations.

Courses begin on August 29, 2022 and the deadline to arrive at Polytechnique MontrĂ©al and to provide your immigration documents to the Registrar's Office is September 12, 2022. If you think you won't be able to arrive on time, please carefully read the "Late arrivals" section (Master's, DESS, Doctorate/Double Degree) of our website.
