In most cases, all new registrations for the school year are made at the primary or secondary school. Please confirm the specific dates with your school board. Usually, registrations are made in late January before the start of the next school year in September.

The request for the Declaration of Eligibility for Teaching in English must be made during the registration period before the start of the following school year. Please click on the link for more details on the procedures to follow: Ministry of Education and Higher Education.

If you have not been able to submit the application for the Eligibility Declaration on time, there is still a deadline to do so: usually June 1, before the start of the new school year. If you find yourself in this situation, you must go directly to your school board to submit the required documents. This applies to all elementary and secondary schools across Quebec. If you are unsure of the procedures to follow, do not hesitate to contact your school board for further information.

Kindergarten education is available to children five years of age by September 30.

Primary education is offered to children six years of age by September 30.

To attend an English-language secondary school, students must have their Declaration of Eligibility or their permanent code (which identifies each student who attends an educational institution in Quebec).
