The programs of the ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement Supérieur du Québec (Canada, Mexique, Allemagne) have a lower cost because they are funded by the Gouvernement du Québec. Éducation internationale (Échanges azimut) has been mandated to administer these programs for several years.
We recommend that you send post-dated cheques when applying. Éducation internationale cannot guarantee a pairing. The registration fees will be reimbursed in case we are not able to pair your child.
Registration fees are non-refundable, once the pairing if confirmed, outside of exceptional situations (severe illness or death)
* Transportation costs from students’ home to Montreal’s airport are not included in the registration fees. You also have to assume the cost of picking up the twin from Montreal’s airport as well as taking him or her back to the airport for their departure. Transportation to and from Montreal is included in the registration fees for the Ministry programs (Canada, Germany).
