Hi Akifm,

Are you applying based on the notion that the programs you mentioned are two years in duration and would automatically get you 3 years working visa?

I am trying to understand the reason you are not applying to Queen's or Ivey.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I just completed all the checklist items for McGill MBA program 2017. Just wanted to know if this completes my application or is there something else that needs to be done.
I have not received any email confirmation from McGill stating that your application is complete.

Many thanks in advance for your responses!

It depends on what you are looking for post MBA. If you want to get into Marketing in any industry here in Montreal or Québec, French skills is non-negotiable. There are certain companies that insist that you be bilingual, and there are many roles that expect you to be bilingual. There are certain companies, which if they like you, will relax it a bit but will entertain you to learn French upon joining them, which is logical as you do not want to be left out of conversations all the time during the coffee breaks. Having said that, there are two things students do: 1. Learn French. 2. Look for jobs outside Montreal (which is what I've opted for.)

Montreal is Francophone. But you'd do fine when it comes to living in Montreal and getting through the program, as the program is entirely in English and everyone in the faculty will use English as primary as long as you are not alone with them and they know you speak French. You'll have no problems whatsoever finishing the program. People are friendly and like you more if you make an attempt to speak French. Hope that helps.

Vijay G

Did anyone receive any mail/communication after completion of interview? My interview got done on 7th November and was promised that adcom would inform on decision within two weeks from the date of interview.

Any updates post-interview?
