<p>I still recommend my previous advice, check with Admissions office for your particular situation, there are so many individual variations. It is possible under the right set of conditions to pay Canadian tuition for the first semester, live in residence and, after 3 months in residence, qualify for Quebec tuition and get an adjustment in tuition for your first semester so you in effect pay Quebec tuition from the very beginning of 1st semester. But as I say check with the admissions office for your particular circumstances.</p>
