Connect with us over the summer!

Every summer, we host two events tailored to new McGill students and their families.

Send-Offs connect incoming students and their parents/guardians with current students, fellow parents/guardians, and recent alumni from their region. 

Parents Tent takes place on McGill campus during REZ Move-in Weekend. Join us for events and activities, connect with fellow newcomers, and get answers to any questions you may have.

Find us on Facebook

Ask questions, share stories, and keep in touch with other families through the McGill International Parent Community on Facebook. Note that you must register as a McGill parent using the link at the top of the page first.

The McGill Advantage: it’s for Parents, too!

We can’t thank our McGill families enough for supporting McGill students, but we can try! 

As integral members of the McGill community, you are eligible to receive the same benefits and perks available to McGill alumni. Parents can take advantage of exclusive discounts via the McGill Official Hotels Program.

Giving to McGill changes students’ lives

McGill parents and families are among our most generous donors. Around one in six students receive some form of financial support each year, and philanthropy from all donors contributes to the campus experience and future-readiness of our 40,000 students.
