If the available budget does not allow for all requests to be met, priority is given to students admitted through the CNFS stream.

Financial support applicable to language test fees (IELTS, CELPIP)

For the past few years, some provinces have required students to pass a language test in order to do an undergraduate medical internship. Francophone Affairs, which wishes to support students in doing out-of-province internships in Francophone settings, realizes that the costs associated with such a test could have an impact on the ability to do an internship in that province. Therefore, in order not to limit students in their choice of internships in provinces other than Quebec and Ontario, Francophone Affairs is willing to consider reimbursement for these tests under the following conditions:

• The Reimbursement Request Form (only available in French) must be completed and submitted for approval prior to the start of the internship.
• Proof of payment and confirmation of successful completion of the test must be included with the reimbursement request.
• Priority will be given to CNFS students.

Specific conditions for non-CNFS students:

• The language test must have been completed in anticipation of an upcoming internship during pre-externship or externship. Proof of internship or proof of steps taken must be provided with the request for reimbursement. Please communicate with Francophone Affairs, at [email protected] to know if your province or territory requires a language test in order to apply for an educational license.
• Only a request for reimbursement for a test combined with an internship in a province requiring it will be considered.

As funds are limited, Francophone Affairs gives priority to CNFS students, and will consider requests until all funds have been allocated.
