CEGEP is not the only option.
It is a common misconception in Quebec that CEGEP is the only option after graduation. There are plenty of other opportunities for our graduates. Some of the most common alternative options are going to college in Ontario, going straight to university, or joining the armed forces. Other students also decide to go straight into to work force, volunteer, or travel for a year before returning to their studies. You will find information concerning these choices on this page.
