You have to speak french. The application is in french as are the interviews. You don't have to be a native speaker, but you need to be able to communicate.

Actually you need to do better than just communicate...you need a minimum score of 865 i believe out of 990, that is 87%

Good luck with that one!

On what test?

If you graduated from high school in Quebec, no further French language tests are needed. Ever. But they would test you "ability to communicate" at the interview, should you ever get there.

not true.

It has to be FRENCH high school.

And not french immersion... they made me take the test because I had 2 or 3 english-language science or math classes on my transcript.

Put it this way - You need to have a very good knowledge of French to get in. And really, how do you plan on studying medicine in French if you can't even speak the language!

Is it a test specific to UdeM?

It certainly isn't a government one.

They use the TFI (Test de Francais International)

Whatever it is, Ive heard its super-hard. Quebec has this annoying habit of giving french exams to foreigners which truthfully most quebecois would probably fail. I think though that you can spend a year taking a course, so youre not kicked out immediately.

Universite de Laval is probably better for this, as i think the test might be easier,

At Laval, failing the exam simply means taking a french course.

At Montreal, failing the exam means getting rejected.
Thankfully, this year they did the exam before interview invites went out, whereas last year they had to revoke more than 20 acceptances after ppl failed the exam.

You do realize that at UdM:

The interview is in French
The classes are in French
The exams are in French
The doctors speak French
The nurses speak French
The patients speak French
All hospital documentation must be in French

Think you need French?
