Facilitating Student Integration
The Buddy program pairs new international students with current students who provide the friendly face, helping hand, and first Montreal friendship that can make a world of difference for new arrivals. Buddies can also offer linguistic support, cultural guidance and information about life at McGill. Now in its 27th year, the Buddy Program has helped thousands of international students - more than 900 last year - settle into McGill and Montreal.

Student Life Ambassador Program
Run by the First-Year Office, the Student Life Ambassador Program pairs senior student "Ambassadors" with new Canadian students to help them navigate their first year of study at McGill. Ambassadors are a wealth of experience and information and are happy to show you the ropes of McGill’s academic and social life.
