Notes for applicants: Applicants are strongly encouraged to begin obtaining the required immunizations in January, as this process can take up to six months. Students who have accepted their offer of admission must upload the completed immunization form directly to the Student Wellness Hub, by June 15th. The immunization form can be found here; for information on this program requirement, please review this webpage and contact us for any questions. Students who have not completed the required immunizations by the deadline will not be permitted to register for the upcoming academic year.
Notes for newly admitted International students: You have been admitted to a program that includes a mandatory practical work component (such as a co-op, placement or stage). Accordingly, if you are not a citizen or permanent resident of Canada and, whether or not you will be paid, you must obtain a “coop work permit” in addition to your study permit. Please see McGill’s International Student Services website for details: https://www.mcgill.ca/internationalstudents/.
You will need to obtain the “co-op” work permit before you begin your clinical studies and clinical internship. In order to apply for the “co-op” work permit, you will need written confirmation that your program includes a mandatory practical work component. In order to obtain a letter that confirms that you have a mandatory practical work component, contact either undergraduate.nursing [at] mcgill.ca or graduate.nursing [at] mcgill.ca.
You will accompany the letter with your letter of offer of admission when applying for the Work Coop Permit. You will also need to submit a Medical Exam with your application. Detailed instructions can be found on the McGill’s International Student Services’ website at: https://www.mcgill.ca/internationalstudents/work/co-op-internship-work-permit
Students applying for the co-op work permit must include the "International Student Letter" in addition to their acceptance letter into their program at McGill. To obtain a copy of this letter, please contact undergraduate.nursing [at] mcgill.ca or graduate.nursing [at] mcgill.ca

OIIQ student registration – additional information
Please review the following information carefully:
- The OIIQ website advises to submit the application with all supporting documents and processing only when students receive an e-mail notification from the OIIQ. This email notification goes out when the educational institution provides the OIIQ with a list of new students. We anticipate Enrolment Services to submit the first report of "registered" students in mid-August.
- In order for this report to be accurate and not result in errors, students must:
- Update their Quebec mailing address and phone/cell number in MINERVA
- Ensure that all legal documents (https://www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments/#when ) are in place with Enrolment Services for the Perm Code creation or verification of an existing code.
- OIIQ Registration Certificate (Certificat d’immatriculation): According to the OIIQ web site, students should receive their Certificate by e-mail within two weeks upon receipt of the application form and supporting documents/application fee.
Reminder: Students are required to upload a copy of their OIIQ Registration Certificate via our nursing Portal upon receipt of this document.
Consent for release of personal information for clinical placements (HSPnet)
The Ingram School of Nursing uses a web-based application called Health Sciences Placement Network (HSPnet) to coordinate clinical placements. HSPnet is a secure web-enabled application developed and managed by the BC Academic Health Council on behalf of its partners in several jurisdictions across Canada. The HSPnet database contains information about students in clinical placements within health agencies. Students must authorize their educational unit to use and disclose their personal information (name, student profile) and to use (but not disclose) their personal health information via HSPnet for the purpose of locating and coordinating placements as required for their educational program.
Students should read the Identified Purposes and Handling of Personal Information / Traitement des renseignements personnels document to understand what kind of personal information will be kept and sent where.
Students should then read through the Student Consent Form/ Formulaire de consentement, complete all pertinent information (the name of your degree program), add your handwritten signature, and upload the signed consent form via the Student Portal. Please note that the Clinical Placements Office must have a signed consent form for each new student entering clinical. Failure to provide a signed consent will delay entry into the clinical site, and consequently delay completion of nursing studies.
French Language Courses
For students who lack proficiency in French, it is recommended that they take French as a Second Language course prior to, or early in, the program. Working knowledge of French is essential when working in the clinical sites throughout the province of Quebec.
The Ingram School of Nursing offers ‘beginner’ and ‘intermediate’ level French language workshops specific to Nursing students. These workshops are free and offered throughout each semester to interested students. Certain courses provide ‘visual translation’ of material presented on slides in class (key English terms have French word appearing adjacent so as to facilitate acquiring medical vocabulary). For more information on these workshops, please contact the Nursing Peer Mentorship Program (NPMP) at npmp.nursing [at] mcgill.ca.
