Indeed a CEGEP is a pre university general and vocationnal college. You may go to an English language CEGEP provided they are available in the city where you intend to live which is the case in Montreal. The Quebec school system goes this way 1 year or more Kindergarden prior to age 6. At age 6 and above 6 years Primary school 5 years Secondary School. 2 years of CEGEP (if intend is to go to University ) or 3 years CEGEP if vocational training then University.
