Interning Abroad - Déclaration relative à la participation d'un étudiant à une activité étudiante

The Déclaration relative à la participation d’un étudiant à une activité étudiante is an agreement between the intern, McGill University, and the host organization. Please make sure that this document is accepted by your employer before committing to the internship and making any travel arrangements. Our office is only authorized to complete and sign the Déclaration, without any modifications or additions. The Déclaration is the only form that our office will sign; we will not complete, sign or review any other convention de stage document.

Please note that the Déclaration relative à la participation d’un étudiant à une activité étudiante has replaced the Convention de Stage.

Students must request a Déclaration from our Office three weeks before the internship starts in order to have the request reviewed and processed. Our Office will not sign the Déclaration after the internship's start date.

For GRADUATING STUDENTS: To complete a Déclaration relative à la participation d’un étudiant à une activité étudiante, the student must be registered at McGill at the time of the request - no exceptions will be made. Once the student has completed their program at the end of a semester, they will no longer have a status at McGill; therefore, the student must indicate the last day of the term in which their studies come to an end in section 4.a.ii of the Déclaration. The dates that determine each term are indicated below. This document is issued by the academic institution in which the student is enrolled at the time of the request. Our office will not issue this document if you have graduated. Please note no extension or modifications of said document will be granted once completed.
