I am currently a PhD student at McGill and got my CSQ last week without having any French and English test. It depends on your Area of Training because it carries 16 points. I got 16 points for my Canadian masters.

PEQ is not possible without an advanced intermediate knowledge of French.

There is only 1 source. Just do a google search and check the PEQ requirements from Quebec immigration site.

I realize that but If you get a degree from a French university doesn't that suffice for a PEQ?

Yes, based on what I have known, many student got the csq through PEQ, after they got a degree from a french language university in QUEBEC such as umontreal , laval, polytecnique, even they have no any french points or french ability.

Hi adas and thejkhan,
I know previously many student got PEQ after graduating from a French language university in Quebec. But recently, they added a condition that you have to write your thesis in French too.

If you are a graduate or future graduate, you can submit:

* a final transcript attesting to the successful completion of a study program in Québec pursued entirely in French (including the master’s and doctoral theses, if applicable) or

* an attestation of results of a French test or diploma recognized by the Ministère that demonstrates attainment of a level of competency in oral comprehension and oral production of 7 or higher on
the Échelle québécoise des niveaux de compétence en français des personnes immigrantes adultes or to its equivalent (level B2 or higher of the Common European Framework of Reference).

Have a good day

I have no idea about schools. I know many University offer French courses. You can check Quebec immigration website, they have mentioned which level is enough for their requirement and it is also vary university to university. It is time consuming but easy to get certificate.
