In recent years, Canada has become the top choice for most Chinese students due to many favorable factors such as high-quality teaching, affordable tuition fees, and advantageous employment and immigration conditions. Quebec is the largest province in Canada with 15 French-speaking universities. Students majoring in finance who wish to pursue a master's degree can apply for studying in Quebec if they meet the following requirements: 1) High school diploma; 2) Three-year academic transcripts; 3) French proficiency test scores.

The TCF (Test de Connaissance du Français) score requirement varies among universities in Quebec. For example, Université de Montréal requires around 550 points, while Université Laval requires about 500 points. The experts highly recommend Université du Québec, which is a university alliance consisting of eight branches. At its Chicoutimi branch, the TCF score requirement is approximately 430 points, and it offers a "High School Waiver Scholarship" worth up to RMB 100,000 for master’s students.

Canadian postgraduate study experts introduce five specific aspects:

1. A stable 90% scholarship opportunity - the "High School Waiver Scholarship". It is notoriously difficult to obtain scholarships in Canada, but among nearly a hundred public universities in Canada, there is one unique Canadian postgraduate program that guarantees a 90% scholarship rate. This is a bilateral project between the China Scholarship Council and the Quebec provincial government, saving up to 90%. The annual tuition fee at Université du Québec is CAD 11,000. With the "High School Waiver Scholarship", you can save CAD 10,000 per year, equivalent to RMB 60,000. Due to the limited number of "High School Waiver Scholarships" each year, based on experience analysis, the following categories of students have a higher chance of winning the scholarship: first, those pursuing higher degrees, such as graduate studies over undergraduate studies; second, those receiving direct admission rather than conditional admission; third, those studying in French rather than English; fourth, those submitting applications earlier, as the "High School Waiver Scholarship" follows the policy of applying anytime, approving anytime, reviewing first-come-first-served, and stopping once all quotas are filled. Therefore, submitting an application early naturally increases the chances of winning the scholarship.

2. The Quebec study permit deposit is CAD 300,000, much lower than other provinces in Canada (which require CAD 400,000 to 500,000).

3. Quebec's immigration policy is more advantageous than other provinces in Canada. The technical immigration scoring system is more flexible. The passing score for Quebec technical immigration is 60, while it is 67 for other provinces. International student experience-based immigration enjoys priority in immigration approval according to Canadian law.

4. No TOEFL or IELTS score thresholds are required, eliminating the need to worry about achieving an IELTS score of 6.5. After four months of training in a domestic French language training institution (500 hours), one can apply for a master's program at Université du Québec (search for the list of universities in Quebec Province on the Ministry of Education's overseas education supervision website).

5. Employment rate reaches 95% with "co-op programs". Generally working 40 hours per week, recommended universities include Université du Québec's Organizational Management program, which provides students with a six-month paid internship opportunity. According to official information from Université du Québec, the employment rate has been consistently high at 95% for five consecutive years. You can gain knowledge, Canadian work experience, earn tuition fees (CAD 15 per hour), and potentially be directly hired by companies after graduation, achieving four goals at once. Graduates automatically receive a three-year work visa, and after one year of work, they become eligible to apply for immigration. The application process can be completed in as fast as two months. The door to Canadian immigration is open, and Canadian study and immigration can be achieved in one step.

Admission Requirements:

1. Bachelor's degree or above

2. Academic transcripts for three years of undergraduate study

3. Birth certificate (for those under 29 years old)

4. Bank statement proving economic guarantee of CAD 300,000
