Financial support applicable to travel expenses for clinical placements for CNFS students

The implementation of the financial support policy for travel expenses related to clinical placements aims to encourage students to complete a clinical placement in their home community or in another Francophone minority community.

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 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 requirements for CNFS students:

  • 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.
  • Reimbursement of test fees may be requested before an internship has been officially approved.
