McGill University

McGill offers on-campus residences, while many Montréal students also rent shared apartments near the downtown campus or in neighbouring areas. Availability and prices change by intake and housing type; use McGill’s current residences and off-campus housing guidance rather than treating a fixed rent range as a programme fee.

Applicants and enrolled students can use McGill’s Applicant Portal, programme offices and International Student Services for document tracking, arrival and immigration guidance. Nursing applicants should also review the Ingram School of Nursing’s French-proficiency and immunization instructions; MBA applicants should follow Desautels’ programme checklist and interview communications.

Queen's University

Queen's provides residence information and an application route for students, but room availability, contract terms and prices depend on the intake and residence category. The public sources reviewed do not support one current housing price for all international students. Applicants should compare residence with shared off-campus housing in Kingston, confirm the residence deadline after receiving an offer, and include utilities, food, transport and deposits in their budget. Students Traffic can help with a pre-arrival housing and budget checklist.

Applicants use Queen's admission and applicant-portal processes, then receive a programme-specific to-do list. Queen's also provides international student, accessibility, safety, library and student-support resources. Smith MBA students can access pre-MBA warm-up sessions in financial accounting, finance, business analytics, strategic thinking and data manipulation. Engineering applicants should confirm their prerequisite subjects, English-language evidence and supplementary requirements through Queen's current admission tools rather than relying on a generic checklist.
