we are not french but Canadian, and I doubt they give any priorities to French Canadians. What i did is I sent a pre-admission request and I was told to wait until the commission decides. I don't know if this is the standard procedure or just a subtle way to say no? And besides I don't think I have a back-up plan as these are the only French schools in Doha, unless you can refer me to other schools? And my final question, in case nothing french works, do you think is it too late to put my daughter in an English school even though she doesn't speak English (she will be 5 years old at the school entrance)? Thanks
