Process
As part of a new initiative, GPS provides听visiting PhD applicants with pre-paid credit cards upon their arrival at 不良研究所 to ease the cost of travel to Montreal.
For visiting PhD applicants to receive a virtual pre-paid credit card, the following steps must be taken:
- The GPC or GPD must complete the webform听at least 2 weeks prior to the prospective student鈥檚 arrival;
- GPS confirms to unit approval of request;
- If approved, the GPC or GPD must confirm student's arrival听to graduatefunding.gps [at] mcgill.ca;听
- GPS emails the virtual prepaid credit card with听instructions directly to student.
Please note that we can no longer reimburse students directly. All reimbursements will be made by pre-paid credit card only. For any questions regarding the Canadian Doctoral Recruitment Visits, contact graduatefunding.gps [at] mcgill.ca.
