I am an international student in Quebec
Welcome to Montreal, one of the world’s best cities for students! Our advisors are here to help you make the most of your time in our wonderful city. They can provide personalized support and even help you make the transition from “here for school” to “here for life.”
Here’s how PROMIS can help international students like you integrate into their new lives in Montreal.
Accueil et intégration
Étudier à Montréal est une excellente façon de vous intégrer. Nous pouvons vous aider à aller plus loin avec un plan personnalisé pour simplifier votre processus d’intégration. Nous sommes aussi à vos côtés tout au long du processus d’obtention de vos documents d’immigration.
French courses
In addition to your university studies, you can perfect your knowledge of the French language by signing up for free courses at PROMIS offered by MIFI. You can choose to follow a full-time or part-time schedule that aligns with your proficiency level. Experience French first-hand through cultural field trips and feel more at home in Quebec!
Aide aux familles
Étudier à Montréal, c’est super. Être aussi en mesure de répondre aux besoins de sa famille, c’est encore mieux! Avec nos ateliers de budget et nutrition, nos activités socioculturelles et notre vestiaire collectif, vous êtes entre de bonnes mains.
Soutien scolaire
Vos enfants vous ont suivi dans votre projet d’études, mais ils vivent des difficultés scolaires. Nous vous accompagnons dans votre langue maternelle afin de faire le lien entre vos enfants, l’école et votre communauté. Parce que nous croyons que les enfants issus de l’immigration méritent de réussir à l’école.
Employment assistance
You may be allowed to work off-campus during your university studies. To find out whether you meet the government’s criteria and to receive guidance on the Quebec job market, reach out to our team.
Food education
Making healthy food choices on a budget can be a challenge for students. PROMIS offers culinary workshops and training to get you on track. You’ll get to know Quebec grocery stores and recipes, and you can even learn to grow your own food at our community garden.
Live outside a major metropolitan area
If your program of study and visa allow it, you can pursue your education outside of major centres like Montreal or Quebec City. The province’s non-metropolitan regions offer a healthy environment that’s great for outdoor activities and full of career opportunities. We work with partners across Quebec to help you find a region that suits your needs and lifestyle.
Entrepreneuriat immigrant
Pendant vos études, vous pourriez avoir une idée d’entreprise géniale. Ça tombe bien, PROMIS vous offre des ateliers, du réseautage et de l’accompagnement pour concrétiser les rêves d’affaires des personnes immigrantes comme vous.
Lodging for single women
Studying at HEC or U de M? The Maria-Goretti Residence is located close to a number of academic institutions. Enjoy peace, security, and a full range of services in our 217-room women-only residence, all at an affordable price in a multicultural neighborhood.
Lend a hand
There are many ways to find your place in Quebec society. Volunteering is a rewarding activity that will help you better understand your new environment while supporting others.
