French citizens and citizens of other francophone countries have been eligible for Quebec in-province tuition for studies at Quebec universities, including English-speaking McGill and Concordia. The tuition for these eligible non-Canadian citizens was increased this fall so that they now pay out-of-province tuition but which is still lower than international student tuition.
CBC wrote this in February 2015: "
Under the revised agreement announced Thursday, students from France will pay about CDN$6,650 a year, the same amount paid by students from the rest of Canada. French students currently pay the same fees as Quebec students, about CDN$2,200. "
