The notion that French universities are tuition-free is a misconception. The language proficiency requirements for universities that do not charge tuition are so high that they are very difficult to meet, and the costs for language courses are quite expensive. In contrast, studying in Quebec under the "免高奖" (exemption of high tuition fees) program is more economical. A two-year master's degree in Quebec only costs a total of 150,000 yuan. Due to limited spots, many applicants who are rejected from French universities often turn to applying for studies in Quebec. The financial guarantee requirements for studying in Quebec are as follows: For undergraduate studies, it ranges from 650,000 to 800,000 yuan, and for master's studies, it ranges from 300,000 to 400,000 yuan; for French-taught undergraduate programs, it is between 450,000 to 500,000 yuan, and for master’s programs, it is between 300,000 to 350,000 yuan. The economic guarantee requires cash deposits in the bank with a deposit certificate. The deposit history requirement is 12 months, but real estate and stocks can also be used as supplementary proof for shorter funding histories.
