Hi I got admitted. Do you know how long after graduation we can stsy with our work permit? We pass 54 credit but in one year. Do they give us three year work permit or one year? In cic website it is said that accelerated programs such as hec may be considered as a program that took longer time.

Hi,
I had a 640 GMAT score and have received an admission offer from HEC Montreal this week.
However, I had few concerns in terms of employment rate post MBA. I have read multiple posts that knowing French is a must to get a good job there. I am from India and of course, I can learn French but won't be that fluent in a year. Can anyone possibly help me to make the right decision here?

French is necessary to land a job in Quebec. It will be extremely difficult for you to to be business proficient in French in one year. As a non Canadian I would say you have less than 1% chance of landing a job without French proficiency in Montreal. I am not trying to discourage you but want to give you a realistic idea of what to expect.
Remember in general, Canada is a very tough job market.

I live in Quebec can confirm that. I would say almost 0 chances to get a job in consulting without french. Odds are high that you won't be even able to pass through HR. Again, that applies to consulting jobs, where you have to interact with clients both internal and external. If you, lets say, in quant finance, it doesn't really matter whether you know french or not. Hope that helps.

My understanding is that the duration of the work permit equals the duration of the programme (unless it is a 2 year programme, in which case the work permit is for 3 years). So, in the case of the HEC MBA, it should be 1 year.
I get in touch with someone in previous French cohort. He told me most ppl in their batch including himself get 3 year PGWP. However, there's a slightly chances for someone to get 1 year visa. It has nothing to be with applying from online or at the board station, since someone still got a 3 year visa at the board. Just FYI. I think this is a crucial information for international students before making decision.
Further anyone can help me out on the scholarship thing? If nothing showed on the admission offer, how can I confirm the 7k CAD scholarship? I wrote letters to school and the letter was forwarded back and force and I still didn't get any confirmation yet.
Ferench cohort study for 2 years not 1 year. that's the problem.

Hi Guys,
I got admit in the second round. However, I have few queries. > Is it difficult to get visa stamped as HEC Montreal is a French institution.(A friend of mine working in Montreal told me about it) > I am from India and have no knowledge of French, also it is practically impossible to be proficient in a year. Does anyone have knowledge about previous batch who have done MBA in English from HEC?

Congratulations on the admission offered to you. Don't believe everything you hear. Canada is a very welcoming country and stamping of a genuine visa should not be a concern to you. Arrivals at Canadian airports are one of the best arrival experiences and are very friendly.
But, I guess you implied obtaining a student visa which is again a standard procedure and there is no bias on account of HEC Montreal admission. However, processing experience may vary based on individual cases.
French proficiency is not impossible but difficult and it also depends on what level of proficiency you aim for.
I believe you have been offered admission to the English cohort for 2018. you may confirm the same either from the application package you sent or from the admission offer. MBA in English is offered at HEC Montreal every year in summers and has a significant participation of candidates from India. I would suggest you do some research on LinkedIn or other social networking sites.
There is a WhatsApp group of candidates who have been offered admission for Summer 2018. You may share your contact details by a PM if you wish to join the same.
