Process
As part of a new initiative, GPS provides泭visiting PhD applicants with virtual pre-paid credit cards after their visit to 91勛圖 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 nominate the prospective student via the webform泭at least 2 weeks prior to their visit;
- GPS assesses the nomination and provides泭a泭decision to the unit;
- If approved, the GPC or GPD must confirm student's arrival泭to gradrecruitment.gps [at] mcgill.ca.
- GPS emails the virtual prepaid credit card with泭instructions directly to student.
Please note that we cannot reimburse students directly. All reimbursements will be made by virtual pre-paid credit card only.泭The virtual pre-paid credit card can be used for online transactions or added to a wallet app for in-person purchases.
