At the same time, the program increases the opportunities available to French-speaking Ontario residents to pursue postsecondary studies in French. The Government of Ontario makes annual payments to the Government of Quebec for each position filled by a resident of Ontario under the Ontario-Quebec Health Study Program. However, the program does not provide scholarships or other forms of financial assistance to successful applicants.
Students are responsible for their tuition fees and other expenses.
The period of service is to begin no later than six months after completion of the program of studies. The universities are solely responsible for setting requirements for admission and for selecting the applicants who will be offered positions. Applicants should consult the appropriate university calendars for program entry requirements, application procedures, and deadlines. Photocopies of relevant documents are acceptable. Early in March, the ministry will provide the Quebec universities with a list of applicants considered eligible to participate in the Ontario-Quebec Program.
