French Immersion programs in Quebec (homes, high school, university)

Good Afternoon everyone,
My 16 year old sister is studying French at her high school. She is a sophomore in High School and I am really encouraging her to study French in Quebec. Are there any decent programs for her to attend that are not too pricey

Thank You

If you're talking about a Summer immersion program, I happen to be looking at the information for a program at Université du Québec à Montréal in another tab.

July Immersion Program at UQAM (http://www.langues.immersion.uqam.ca/en/programmes/programmes_juillet.asp - broken link)

I would recommend Quebec City rather than Montreal due to too much English being spoken in the city. In fact, Montreal is bilingual enough to get by without much French. On the other hand is Quebec City is overwhemlingly Francophone (French Speaking). Outside the tourist areas, it will be essential for her to learn French to communicate with the locals.

Hence, look up the Laval University in Quebec City. I know for a fact that they have French immersion programs with affordable homestays. The URL to the French Language Program for non-French Speakers is http://www.elul.ulaval.ca/sgc/lang/en_CA/pid/9070
