What is Bill 96 in Quebec ?

Bill 96 of Quebec is now formally in force starting from 2022. The number of francophones and allophones who can enroll in English CEGEPs will be restricted by Bill 96, which imposes enrollment limitations on the English system. It will be mandatory for all students to enroll in three additional French courses.

According to Bill 96's education reforms, junior college (CEGEP) students who enroll in English-language institutions must take three core French courses or three courses in French-language education.

What Our Quebec Students Have to Say

Christine

Quebec Student

Hi my name is Christine Tadros. Today I want to share with you my experience with Toronto eSchool and university application journey.

Studying at Toronto eSschool has helped me become more independent and responsible with my learning since the program is online and flexible. I Learned how to manage my time stay organized and motivate myself to complete my courses successfully.

One thing I really appreciated was the support from teachers and staff whenever I had questions or needed any help. They were always understanding and encouraging, this made my learning experience much more comfortable and positive during my time here.

I also improved important skills like communication, self discipline and academic writing which helped me prepare for university.

For my university applications, Toronto eSchool played an important role in helping me achieve my academic goals. The flexibility of the courses allowed me to balance school with my personal responsibilities and focus on improving my grades and preparing for the future.

I'm very thankful for the experience and opportunities I had at Toronto eSchool.

Thank You.

Xiaokun Dai

Quebec Student

Hello, my name is Xiaokun. This year I am attending Toronto eSchool. I originally attended elementary school and High School in Quebec, but I chose Toronto eSchool for my final academic year in Grade 12 because the their courses are very flexible and I can study anytime and anywhere on my own pace. With Toronto eSchool I studied MHF4U, BOH4U, BBB4M, MCV4U, ENG4U, HHS4U, CGW4U and OLC4O and successfully earned my OSSD.
This year I received admission offers from York, Ottawa, McMaster, and the University of Toronto. I would like to express my special thanks to the teachers at Toronto eSchool for their help and their support.

Hua

Quebec Student

Hello, my name is Hua. I graduated from Toronto eSchool this year. I previously attended Cegep in Quebec and I heard about Toronto eSchool from my friends. After communication with the school counsellor, I thought through Toronto eSchool it was a valuable opportunity for me to pursue my dream university. During one year of studying at Toronto eSchool, all teachers from various subjects left feedback after every assignment and test I completed so that I could know what mistakes I made and how I could improve, which was a great help to me. At the same time, Guidance Ms. Wang also helped me a lot to apply for University admission. I successfully obtained an Offer from University of Toronto majoring in computer science this year.
I am very grateful to Toronto eSchool for giving me this learning opportunity and fulfilling my dream of attending a prestigious University of Toronto!
