Yes! We encourage residents interested in joining our team as Community Assistants to explore the application process once opened. See our Residence Life section for more information.

To begin your application process, click “Apply Today” at the top of our page to access our quick and convenient Housing Application. Carefully read what you need to know before starting your application.

This is completed on your Housing Application. Please note there are a variety of suite styles at Campus1 MTL Student Residence and while we cannot guarantee availability in your preferred suite style(s), we will do our best to accommodate.

Rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. An application does not guarantee you a space. To guarantee your space, you must submit your signed and completed Lease Agreement, make your first installment payment, and receive confirmation of your space from our office prior to moving in.

You can email campus1mtl@studenthousing.com or call 514-273-7626 to speak to a member of our leasing team and confirm.

To jumpstart the leasing process, it is essential for you to make a First Month's Rent (FMR) payment. Once we receive the payment, we can finalize your application details and send you your Lease Agreement. To make this payment, visit Letus or click “Pay Rent” at the top of our page and select ‘Make a One-Time Payment via Letus’.

Please note that the FMR amount is dependent on the preferred floor plan indicated on your Housing Application and is required for new applicants only. If you are renewing your current Lease Agreement, your FMR is transferrable to your new lease term where an adjustment may be required should your suite type change.

Instead of requiring all roommates to sign a joint lease, each person at Campus1 MTL has their own individual contract, with one person per bed space. This means you are only responsible for paying for yourself — not your roommates. Even if a roommate moves out or other bed space in your unit is empty, you only pay the rate for your bedroom.

The typical lease term coincides with the university's academic calendar. The resident is charged a total rent amount for the contracted occupancy period. The lease agreement will reflect the total rent amount typically divided into equal installments for the duration of the lease term. These installments do not represent a monthly rent amount and are not prorated.

Water, internet and electricity are included in our utilities package.

Please inquire with our Leasing Team for specific start and end dates. Rates/installments, fees and utilities are subject to change and may differ between lease terms. Rates/installments do not represent a monthly rental amount (and are not prorated), but rather the total base rent due for the lease term divided by the number of installments.

Rooms are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. A completed application does not guarantee your space. To guarantee your space, you will need to make your First Month’s Rent (FMR) payment following the completion of your Housing Application and ensure you and your Guarantor have successfully signed your Lease Agreement.

You should receive an email confirmation within 24-48 hours of your application submission. You can also request confirmation that your application and/or signed Lease Agreement has been received by the Leasing Office by calling 514-273-7626 or emailing campus1mtl@studenthousing.com.

Our programming model provides residents with numerous opportunities to learn about academic success and personal growth focusing on five (5) key areas — academic support, health and wellness, employability, financial literacy and community engagement.

Our on-site managerial infrastructure and effective programming are not only critical to the success of a Residence Life program but to ensuring each resident’s personal and academic successes. For more detailed information about our program, visit our Residence Life tab.

The on-site Residence Life department consists of a full-time Residence Life Coordinator (RLC) and Community Assistant (CA) student staff who live on-site.

To see our current team of dedicated Residence Life staff, please visit our Residence Life tab.

If a resident experiences conflict with one or more roommates, they are encouraged to speak with their Community Assistant (CA). Our student staff are trained in conflict mediation, confrontation skills, active listening, and dispute resolution. If a conflict extends beyond the scope of a CA member’s ability, they will seek support from the Residence Life Coordinator (RLC) or another member of Management to ensure a peaceful and fair solution for all parties involved.

At Campus1 MTL Student Residence, student health and wellness is an intentional and primary point of focus when it comes to providing the best possible living experience. Through several programs tackling awareness, as well as mental and physical health, we aim to remove the stigma surrounding mental health and provide as much support as possible to students navigating university life.

We partner with Workplace Options to give residents access to a free Student Assistance Program, available 24/7, and in their preferred language. Additionally, throughout the year, we host activity weeks such as Thrive Week and Hi, How Are You Week for students to engage in order to bring focus to the importance of their mental health!

If you have not yet arrived in Canada, you can apply for a bank account online at most major Canadian banks depending on your status as a newcomer and whether you’re coming from a qualifying country. If you have arrived in Canada as a newcomer, you can apply online with your Social Insurance Number (SIN) and a Canadian address.

When opening a bank account, be prepared to provide your Canadian Visa or study permit, one piece of government-issued photo ID such as your passport, proof of school registration, and expected graduation date. All of Canada’s major banks have branches in Montreal. When choosing a financial institution that’s right for you, consider their location in proximity to us, hours of operation and online banking features.

When you open your new account, your Canadian bank representative will give or send you a bank card, also known as a 'debit card'. You'll be given a PIN (personal identification number) to access your account through an ATM or debit machine. Your PIN is your only protection against unauthorized use, so do not reveal it to anyone. This debit card allows you to:

• Use Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) for withdrawals, deposits, and bill payments.
• Pay for items at stores and restaurants that accept debit card payments. This is a good alternative if you prefer not to carry too much cash on you.

Another service to consider are credit cards, which allow you to make purchases without carrying cash and giving you a grace period before you have to pay for your purchases. In Canada, banks generally issue one of three credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, or American Express. Visa and MasterCard are accepted at most major stores and restaurants. Credit cards, just like your debit card, will have a PIN (personal identification number) that you should not share with anyone.

If you consider applying for a credit card, understand the terms and conditions of repayment and be certain you can pay your credit card balance on time when your bill arrives. If you do not pay your credit card bill by the due date, the company will charge you interest on the total amount of the bill, regardless of any amount you paid off over the course of the month. You'll also be charged interest on any purchases made after the due date.

At Campus1 MTL Student Residence, we accept Cheque or Money Order which your chosen Canadian financial institution can provide you. Should you opt to make payments online via a credit card, you can make a one-time payment or set up reoccurring monthly payments by clicking “Pay Rent” at the top of our page.

At Campus1 MTL Student Residence, you can get connected before you arrive! We’ve partnered with CanadianSIM to provide you an exclusive international student postpaid phone plan.

Powered by Rogers and Fido, you can enjoy reliable coverage by one of Canada’s leading network providers.
