McGill PGME online fellowship application fee: $143.82 as printed, non-refundable, payable by credit card; only one submitted application is charged. The source does not explicitly label the dollar currency. This does not establish a fee for the separate formation complémentaire route.

Not stated: the recorded non-profit sponsorship requirement does not establish programme-paid salary. Required external support and its original amount remain under Funding; this is not a guaranteed programme award.

McGill PGME institutional admission policy: acceptable non-profit scholarship/sponsorship must meet at least the R-1 equivalent (minimum CAD 61,000 per year, explicitly identified as CAD in the sponsor-letter checklist) and additionally cover tuition and student services fees. Self-funding and unfunded training are refused. Some programmes may offer internal funding; pediatrics applicants may check bursaries. This is an admission support requirement, not a programme salary offer.

Institution policy: Foreign Trainee applications must go through the PGME office via the online fellowship application system; international medical graduates without Canadian legal status must be officially sponsored by a funding source from their country of origin (fellowship positions may be funded by an Ottawa hospital, in which case sponsorship is not mandatory).

Offered through the SF Match Central Application Service (personal statement, CV, three reference letters); transcripts go to the Departmental Education Program Coordinator; Foreign Trainee applications must also go through the PGME office online.
