Ok heres what happened. Used to live in Quebec, Canada, but my parents moved to Ontario, I moved there with them for about 5 months or so, and the last month, my mom realised i never changed my birth certificate etc, so we paid about 100-200$ to get changed to Ontario. School starts 3 months later and I get a school fee of 912$! I go see the registrars office and turns out its because im an "out of provincer". I go get my stuff transfered back to quebec, another 100-200$, Go back, then they tell me, your not considered a quebec resident until you have lived here for a year! I paid extra just to get the papers ASAP.

Ive lived in quebec for all my life except for like 5 months or so cuz my parents moved! Is it right to charge me 1800$ EXTRA just because of that? 🙁

Cliff notes:
Lived my whole life in quebec, moved to ontario for 5 months, changed back to quebec, now my college is charging me 912$ a semester instead of 100, just because I moved to ontario for 5 months. Is that right?


Im pissed off!
 
Well, here in the states, unless you are emancipated (sp) from your parents you are a legal resident of where ever they live. I pay outta state tuition too, sucks, doesnt it 🙂
 
You just need to petition the fee. Since you haven't lived in the new province for more than a year, you also aren't a resident of the new province, according to them. So, bring that up. They are using a double standard if they try and say that you are not a resident of your current province when you were only gone for five months.

We have the same sh!t happen in the US.

Education's a drag. So much for quebec's great education system of crap!
 
Can I try to restate your OP to clear up confusion? I put a couple assumptions in so just point out where I'm not understanding correctly.

[start of restating the OP]
You have always lived in Quebec except for five months when you lived with your parents in Ontario. Last month you had your driver's license, voting registration, etc. (NOT your birth certificate) changed to the Ontario address. Now you moved back to Quebec and are going school in Quebec, and they think you are an Ontario resident and therefore have to pay an extra $912 per semester. The reason they think that is because your legal address says Ontario.

So to fix that, you had your driver's license, voter registration, etc. (NOT your birth certificate) changed back to an address in Quebec. But that didn't help, because Quebec thinks you just moved there and they say you have to be in Quebec for a year before you get the $100 tuition rate.

[end of restating the OP]

Frankly, I think you are screwed. All the records support the school's view of your situation. According to the legal records (driver's license, voting registration, etc.) you have NOT been a Quebec resident for the entire last 12 months.

Thats about it. Damn.

Thanks!
 
Go someone higher up at the registrar or the school's Dean/Chancellor and explain the situation to them in person. It may help.
