Yes I already started the process with the 2020 form but I just noticed that the 2021 is required. If it's ok I will leave it like that I emailed admissions and they told me to use the 2020 form. Gonna submit it today so we'll see soon enough. edu2021 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from Montreal I called CLSC they told me they can't do it for me right now because of covid, I went to my local clinic the doctor wasn't able to do it. I finally called McGill (pôle du bien-être) but they told me it can take up to 4 weeks which is long ! I know I have a lot of vaccines to do so I can't waste a lot of time :/ I got it done at CLSC Rene-Cassin in Cavendish. It is important to mention that you need to complete the hospital/healthcare/medicine immunizations when you talk to the centrale de rendez-vous. If they say they don't do it, call the ombudsperson for the CIUSSS or CISSS you will get a call back within the week with an appointment. CLSCs are not allowed to refuse immunizations without referring you to another CLSC that will accept you. Complain and it'll get done. The nurse I met was super nice but she was a bit surprised that we had these forms to fill and she suggested that I go to my family MD first. I insisted and we did it over 2x 30 min appointments. I didn't complain, I might have been lucky. I called the CLSC, said I wanted an appointment for a TST and they were like ''oh ya we do these mon/tue'' and got a date within the following 2 weeks. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopefullyRD Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi I found a BLS-provider course with heart&stroke that will happen this upcoming sunday. https://cpr.heartandstroke.ca/s/course/a082K00001UYyFZQA1/bls-provider (see details below) I have made sure that it complies with mcgill's requirements however the course instructor emailed me today and said that it would take at least 3 ppl to start the course and rn there are only 2. I am wondering if anyone would like to join the course together? since it's a relatively cheap course (80$) that i was able to find that will take place on a good time (weekend since i have full time commitment on weekdays) and a good location (not too far away from dt mtl). Course: BLS Provider, C-685442Date: May 2 2021, 1:00 PM PTLocation: 2500 benny crescentPrimary Course Contact: Minyi ZengEmail: vitemed.ca@gmail.comTelephone: (514) 576-0902 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, the MSS will take care of it, but they only get the finalized class list in mid summer, so they can't make it any earlier than that!

MedicA1 Posted May 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Is anyone else also waiting for the status of their international diploma to change to “Received” on Minerva’s document checklist? I have got the confirmation from my Alma Mater that my official final transcript was sent to the Faculty three weeks ago now, but it seems as if McGill hasn’t received it yet...

GJP Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Try to send an electronic copy if possible. I believe not many staff are working in person so perhaps they're slow to pickup physical mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it had to be printed and come from the school so that they knew it was official. MedicA1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJP Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 You have to request that your school send an electronic copy (ex: PDF) of your official transcript to McGill via email at admissions.med@mcgill.ca. Afterwards your Minerva status will be updated once they confirm. You cannot send the transcript yourself, it has to be your school's registrar or whoever handles transcripts, otherwise it won't be official.

Yes, this is what I requested from my Alma Mater, but as aforementioned, it has been more than tree weeks. Should I then ask for a digital copy to be sent directly to the Office of Admissions? I remember reading that international official final transcripts have to be sent in sealed envelopes and thus in a physical format. That said, I was mostly wondering if anyone had the same issue, given that they are required to provide international transcripts as well.

GJP Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'm not too familiar what the conditions are for internationals, this is just what I did after my school's physical copy wasn't received after weeks of waiting as well. Definitely email admissions to double-check. Good luck! MedicA1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PainAuChocolat Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Sorry if this has been answered or if it obvious. But for the TB thing we have to do the two step TST? I was looking on the site for differences between schools and it made it seem like it is not necessary for McGill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two-step TST is required for students who have no documentation of a TST or those who checked a 'YES' in the box at #1. A single TST is required for those who did a two-step TST more than 6 months prior to medical school entry (#2). Best thing you can do though is to confirm with your family doctor or a nurse!

fluffybunnyyyyy Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 does anyone know if you need first aid along with BCLS level C or just the CPR/AED? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJP Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 On the MAAF it just states CPR-C and AED required, no mention of first aid. My CPR course included first aid though so no big deal if you happen to also receive first aid training. fluffybunnyyyyy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
