Welcome to the Schulich Guest Invitation Pages! Faculty members will be able to share their guest planning and funding requests/confirmation through a form (Performance | Research) that will be forwarded to the Department Chair for approval and fund confirmation.
Once the basic event details (date, venue, type of visit) and funding have been confirmed by the Department Chair and/or Area Coordinator, an email, with the requestor in copy, will be sent by events.music@mcgill.ca (Devon and Adam) to your guest requesting that they complete our Guest Artist and Lecturer Information Form.
The guest form, along with the information you provide in the request form will allow us to securely collect all the information required to prepare a letter of agreement and book travel (if applicable).
How are guest payments processed at Schulich?
McGill University offers a few options for payment to guests (also called one-time payments); all types of payment take place following their event. It is important to communicate this and the time delays listed below to your guest ahead of their visit. Once the guest completes the Guest Artist and Lecturer Information Form, Devon and Adam will recommend the most efficient payment process.
In-Person Guest Payment Types:
1 – Canadian – through Workday via direct deposit on a payroll date | approximately 2 weeks
2 – Vendor (ex: Canadians with GST/HST/QST, International guest with company or LLC) – through Vendor Purchasing with an invoice | 45 days following vendor setup and creation of a purchase order
3 – International and Non-Resident Canadian – through Workday via cheque (US residents) or wire transfer (all other international residents) and following government approvals of tax-waiver application | 4-6 month for government form processing, guests will also need to apply for an Individual Tax Number (ITN) if they have not previously worked in Canada. This requires the notarization of an Identification Document template provided to the guest.
