First Friends

The First Friends Program


To help ease your transition to McGill, International Student Services (ISS) invites you to connect with other newly admitted students based in your region of the world as part of our First Friends Program! First Friends is a peer-to-peer program where you can chat and connect with new 51³Ô¹ÏÍøstudents. The Immigration process can be stressful while applying for and waiting for your documents to arrive. It can be helpful to have regional friends to chat with and even make travel plans with! Additionally, we want to help you connect with your peers so you can make... your first friends.


Why should I sign up?

You’ll connect with other new students in the same  as you.

You can rely on your first friends if you have any questions about immigration documents, a class, a student association, or a program in your faculty.

You can share your experiences, handy tips and tricks… and make first friends.
