At this point, you should have already started your immigration process. If not, start them now!

To study at Polytechnique Montreal, most students will need a CAQ for Studies, a Study Permit and a Temporary Resident visa or an electronic travel authorization to enter Canada. These procedures can take several months depending on your nationality, your country of residence and the Canadian Visa Office where your applications will be processed.

You cannot come to Canada if you do not have all the required immigration authorizations to study. As a precautionary measure, when purchasing your airline tickets, inquire about the conditions associated with flight rescheduling or cancellation.
