School and education
Enrollment, documents, school resources: key steps for families and students.
Whether you are a parent with a school-age child or a student in training, the Canadian school system has its own access rules. Here are the key points to get started.
First steps
Identify the school board or district in your area based on your address.
Gather enrollment documents: proof of residence, vaccination record, previous school records.
Understand health insurance (RAMQ/provincial) access timelines before enrolling children.
For post-secondary students: check study permit conditions and work restrictions.
Ask about language integration support resources (PELO classes, francization, language courses).
Common mistakes
Waiting too long to contact the school board — enrollment deadlines exist.
Forgetting to update vaccinations before enrollment — some schools require it.
Not checking if the study permit allows part-time work during studies.
Confusing francophone and anglophone school boards based on your language situation.
Ignoring free school support and integration programs available.
