International students do not need to acquire a new Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) for studies if they want to postpone the start of their study program to the next academic session. Before, if a student started a new study program a semester later than what was noted on their CAQ-study form, they would have to get further documentation. It should be noted that if a student begins their studies in the next semester, this does not automatically extend the expiry date of their CAQ. Students must complete their program before their CAQ expires or submit a new application for temporary selection to stay in the country.
