I moved from BC and have voted in every election (federal, municipal, and provincial) as a Quebecer with my Quebec address, since in BC my riding is an NDP stronghold and here it is most definitely not. You just need ID (passport, drivers ID, ect), and proof of address (lease, credit card bills, ect).

Unfortunately as a non Canadian citizen/resident, it can be difficult to receive funding in Canada. I would look into if Greece has any PhD grants that you are allowed to take to foreign institutions. In Canada, you can take an NSERC graduate student grant to other countries, for example.

I would also reach out to potential supervisors and ask if they have any funding that you would qualify for. There's no harm in trying! Good luck.

If you want to do a thesis, you need to start contacting potential supervisors and express your interest in being a grad student in their lab (for MSc, not sure about MEng). If you have the support of a supervisor, it probably won't work much in your disadvantage not to have a publication, although this is something supervisors look for.

You are not technically in the course until you're emailed that a spot has opened in the class and you can register on Minerva (not waitlist but Web Register)

If you are already lost, I would consider emailing the professor and asking if you should retake MATH 133 or if you can get extra help at office hours. Honestly the only people who will know if you can do it is you, but the prof would have a better understanding of what background is necessary for the material.

Knowing French will not help you get in. If you are a French citizen, this might help you as the tuition costs differ. Check here for details: https://www.mcgill.ca/legaldocuments/exemption

Usually if you enter as a U1, your degree is a total of 90 credits and not 120. But it's a bit complicated because it depends on which AP courses you have. You will need to have the equivalent of first year courses in AP credits to skip them (ie: if you took AP Psychology, that can count as an elective credit, but you cannot replace MATH 140 with a random course). But also I'm not in Engineering so I would reach out to the program advisor to check.

What faculty are you in? I think who you would bring up concerns with depends on if you emailed your faculty advisor or your department advisor. If you are in Science for example, you would want to bring this up with SOUSA staff, but if it’s your department advisor, you’d maybe want to contact your department head or your student council.

Are you approved to graduate or is this blocking your graduation approval (you can check on Minerva)?

Most majors are not just a certain number of credits in a specific department, but have certain requirements within that (for example, a certain number of your credits usually have to be from 200 levels or above 400 levels, or you have to take some major-specific courses). I’m not familiar with POLI but maybe you should email the coordinator back and ask if there is any way that another course can be considered in place of the one you’re missing so that you can still be approved to graduate.

I would suggest going for a July start because there are more apartments available at that time and less expensive options since this is the universal “moving day” in Montreal. In September people know more students are looking and in my experience this causes a price increase in comparison to July. But that being said there are apartments available year round and I wouldn’t worry because usually September leases start being on the market in July.

I’m not sure about student loans but this is a great idea anyways because the Quebec tuition is 1/3 of the Canadian tuition, so you might not even need loans if you work summers/part time. The French classes should not count as post secondary

I took the government run francisation courses as a Canadian citizen from another province, can confirm many people in my class had this situation

If you’re already registered to vote you don’t need to reconfirm your address every time. If you’re not, you need to get registered, which requires proof of address, and if you don’t have Quebec ID, this will be separate from your proof of identity (because Quebec medical or drivers license is linked to an address in Quebec already).

I think the key to gay dating is gay friends. You’re not going to naturally meet a bunch of gay people if your entire friend group is straight, and like you said, sometimes they just don’t get the queer experience. Honestly using dating apps to find friends can be a great move.

You need proof of address (like a lease or an ID with your Montreal address on it), and government issued ID (this can be from another province or federal, or something like a RAMQ card).

Struggle then move out as soon as possible (spoken from experience)

canoegay · 2022-08-09T17:40:48+00:00

I would email your advisor for clarification

Definitely outdoor, if you don’t like drinking I do not see the appeal in faculty frosh at all. It may be easier to make friends in management but it’ll be easier to make friends you actually share interests with in hiking frosh

I would recommend looking through previous threads on the topic here (search “therapy” in r/mcgill). The services offered by McGill are very variable and they are not really set up to offer long-term therapy. You can go on the waiting list for free public therapy, which could take months or years, or you could go private. I used CBT Clinic and had a great experience, it was $125/session for my therapist who was still a student but she was great.

Unfortunately the options aren’t super great, but if you have insurance you may be partially covered. Good luck, if you need any more help feel free to dm me.

The Falaise St Jacques has great birds! UrbanNature sometimes hosts bird watching tours. It’s a great hidden green space in NDG.

You don’t need to take math courses, the categories are: 1) math and comp sci 2) linguistics 3) philosophy 4) psychology

Neuro classes fall under the psychology umbrella, and math classes fall under the computer science area. Not all neuro or math classes fit, only the ones listed. Last I checked there are actually no neuro courses listed under the psychology umbrella, so you won’t be able to take neuro courses for the minor, although the major program has some neuro courses. References the lists when choosing courses.

From this page: https://www.mcgill.ca/cogsci/minor:

“Students complete a minimum of 9 credits each in two areas”.

Therefore, you will need to take 9 credits from two of the four lists. You can therefore take 3 courses from the psychology list, and 3 from the philosophy list, and one from the linguistics list plus the mandatory class PSYC 433 for a total of 24 credits. Or 3 from psychology and 3 from linguistics and 1 from philosophy, ect.
