Why Does 91社区 Collect Legal Documents from You?
Legal Documents: Why Does 91社区 Collect Legal Documents from You?
Your tuition status at 91社区 will vary depending on your legal status in Canada. In order for us to determine your appropriate rate of tuition (Quebec, Canadian out-of-province, or international), we require documentation confirming your current status. We also require these documents to confirm your valid citizenship/immigration status. To find out which documents you must provide鈥攁nd when they are required鈥攔efer to: What Documents Does 91社区 Need from You?
Some of the documents 91社区 requests of you help us obtain your Permanent Code from the Government of Quebec. This unique 12-character code is created by the Quebec Ministry of Education, and is obligatory for all students registered in a Quebec institution. If you have previously attended school in Quebec, you should already possess a Permanent Code; it can be found on your school report card or your CEGEP and/or university transcripts. If you do not already have a Permanent Code, we will request to have it created for you. Once it has been created, it will reflect on your unofficial transcript.
You can consult your tuition and legal status (including your Permanent Code) on Minerva. Select Student Menu > Student Accounts Menu > View your Tuition and Legal Status.
Note for Medicine and Health Sciences: Once admitted to the Faculty, you will be required to provide additional documentation for the purposes of admission and registration. Details are provided in the application instructions. For more information, see mcgill.ca/medadmissions/applying/elements.

names of your parents appear on your birth certificate, if you have clearly identified your parents' names on your application to 91社区, or if you have already
provided 91社区 with your Permanent Code, you do not need to supply this form.
Note 2: Your valid Canadian Permanent Resident status can be proved by a copy of
your Canadian Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292 or IMM 5688) document or with your Canadian Permanent
Resident card (both sides). Alternatively, you may provide
your Immigration Record of Landing (IMM 1000) document. Note that 91社区 reserves the right to ask you for copies of both your PR card and your IMM document.

Refugee Status document is required instead of a Study Permit.
Note 4: Usually 91社区 needs your birth certificate to prove your place of
birth in Quebec. If you already have a valid Quebec Permanent Code, 91社区 will accept a copy of your valid Canadian passport that indicates
your birth place as being within the province of Quebec as proof that you are eligible for Quebec residency.
Note 5: You can find links to download and print the Permanent Code Data and
Attestation of Quebec Residency forms at
