Any student who is neither a Canadian citizen nor a permanent resident is considered an international student. Around 15% of our current graduate students are international students. Find out more through the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies website.
Immigration Process
International students are responsible for ensuring that all the required immigration documents are processed before entering Canada. International Student Services Office provides detailed information about the required documents and immigration process.
Compulsory International Health Insurance
McGill requires all international students and their accompanying dependents to participate in the compulsory McGill International Health Insurance Plan administered by International Student Services Office.
