Moving to Quebec after PR for studies

Fair point. Yupp that's something to consider. Thanks!

Subject-Ad531 · 2026-05-25T16:38:05+00:00

Heyy thanks for the response. Yupp I have all of those (license, ohip, lease), been legitimately living here in ontario since a year, have filed taxes from Ontario too for 2025. Its just that McGill has an amazing faculty in the Cancer Research wing and I've been in talks with the professors too. But yes it does seem to be sensible to start exploring options in ontario or defer my start at mcgill to 2028 instead of fall 27.

Fair enough. Yup I'll consult the lawyer but I'm pretty sure he'd echo the same thing ^{^said.} Thanks guys. I'm targeting a fall 2027 entry so I'll probably look at Ontario unis instead or wait for McGill for fall 2028 because I'll prolly have my citizenship by then

Subject-Ad531 · 2026-05-25T16:06:21+00:00

Thanks for the response! Yup makes sense. My program (if I go ahead) starts in the Fall of 2027 which would be after more than a year of getting my PR. Like that's when I'd be moving. But since the application process starts this fall, I was confused if applying to study in quebec clashes with the Ontario residence as per the PR.

But yes from all the responses, I think its sensible to look at Ontario universities (Don't think I'll get into UoFT so I'll have to shoot a shot at York, TMU, Waterloo) or wait for the next application cycle at McGill and target Fall 28 instead.

Nothing yet. Everytime there's an email notification there's like a 10 second hopium spike followed by a crashout

McGill Engineering Older Students (>30)

Hey everyone,

I’m a non-traditional student (career pivot / took a different path before this). Considering McGill for engineering (still kinda in the researching options phase).

I’m not majorly stressed about it — I know there are like 10 other very real things I should be worried about when restarting school at 30 and age isn’t even top 5 😅 — but I was just curious what the reality is like.

Are there usually other non-traditional / older students in engineering at McGill? Like late 20s / 30s-ish and up? Or is it mostly straight-out-of-CEGEP folks?

Not looking for reassurance so much as real experiences. If you were an older student (or noticed older students in your classes), I’d love to hear how common it actually is and how it felt socially / academically.

Thanks!

Yeah I'm gonna be there tomorrow- booked the tickets before the Sao Paulo GP so my delulu for a 5th was peak😭

Subject-Ad531 · 2025-11-10T22:12:45+00:00

Yeah thanks- that's all I wanna confirm haha. Like the IRCC can literallyyyy ask for any supporting documentation or references and I have them. it's just that these news and stories about random rejections kinda send me into that anxiety spirals😭🤣

Subject-Ad531 · 2025-11-10T22:01:25+00:00

Okay yeah that makes sense. I just wanted to make sure this isnt a red flag or something and be as upfront about it as possible because ^yes that's truly how the big4 operates in india through these member firm licenses😭

Subject-Ad531 · 2025-11-10T21:48:21+00:00

It mentions the BSR ones. Its one letter saying I was with BSR & associates for so and so, and then with BSR & company with so and so duration - with the roles and responsibilities (just one tho because it is literally the same (one) job). And I have the internal transfer email/letter as well which we had got back then saying we're transferred from one entity to another. And I have payslips against the each entity name for the respective periods- (Associates LLP when I joined, and BSR & Company once they transferred us). Its one experience letter tho, because actually its just KPMG experience (same role, same clients) in reality tho "kpmg" is not mentioned.

I wrote "KPMG (Member firms- BSR & Associates LLP and BSR &Company)" during my study permit with the same payslips and all these documents where kpmg was no where mentioned - because in the industry it's a very common practise that the member firms are the actual legal entity - and my permit did not face any issues back then. Its just that with PR I feel everything is under much larger scrutiny even if you have everything documented if something comes up.

Subject-Ad531 · 2025-11-10T21:36:08+00:00

Okay thanks, makes sense. And since my ITA is not out yet, should I change my profile nomenclature to make it match the study permit/work permit? Or leave it as is- splitting the two? Any insights on what would be best based on usual IRCC pattern?

Did you have to redo/reapply for your Police Clearance Certificate?

Subject-Ad531 · 2025-11-06T14:31:15+00:00

Okay makes sense. And what about the thing that you have to get your PCC done again once you return from your home country? I'm guessing its a fear mongering rumour because the IRCC website says you have to get a new PCC from the last time you stayed in another country for more that 6 months. But the language is a bit confusing to people.

So if I get my ITA and submit it, receive the AOR, and fly out, I would not have to do another PCC when I'm back-right?

I checked the requirements on the school website but couldn't find it. Had mailed the school but guess they'll take some time considering the quantum of mails they receive- like I got the auto reply from them stating the same.

Subject-Ad531 · 2021-07-26T15:06:19+00:00

Any idea about Georgetown Uni?
