Canadian and Other Immigration Authorities

Students may need to provide a proof of enrolment letter for the purposes of applying for or renewing immigration permits, to apply for Canadian status, or other purposes related to citizenship and/or residency.

In general, international students renewing their study permit and/or CAQ require a “credits-completed-to-date” letter. This letter is generated by the student directly in their Minerva account by selecting “credits completed to date” under the section “type of letter”. This letter can be generated for most students except for students in Dentistry, Dental Residency, Medicine, Medical Residency or a Postdoc. For these programs, please contact your Student Affairs Office or department for assistance. Note that Thesis students should use the normal enrolment letter.

Graduating students (UG or GR) wishing to apply for a post graduate work permit should refer to the International Student Services (ISS) website.

Students dealing with non-Canadian immigration authorities needing proof of enrolment at McGill should use the normal enrolment letter. Should this letter be questioned or refused, please contact Service Point.

For information on required permits according to the level and length of studies, please refer to the Legal Documents website. When applying for or renewing permits, always refer to ISS for confirmation of what documentation is required for your specific purposes in Canada.
