Residency declaration for tuition purposes: in what cases, and how does it work?

Tuition fees vary depending on a student's residency status — Québec resident, resident of another province, or international student. When the usual documents are not enough to establish this status, an educational institution may require a sworn declaration.

Each institution has its own criteria and forms for determining residency status for tuition purposes — always check the exact requirements of your institution.

In what situations is it requested?

  • a student whose recent address does not yet reflect their actual residency status;
  • a student whose parents have recently moved to Québec;
  • a complex residency situation (shared custody between two provinces, for example);
  • a residency status dispute or verification by the institution.

What should the declaration contain?

  • the student's full identity (or the parent's, if a minor);
  • the facts establishing the residency status claimed;
  • the period concerned;
  • a statement of truthfulness.

Can it be sworn online?

Yes, when the document and situation are eligible for remote oath commissioning, by videoconference.
