• Excellence scholarship: $35,000
• 20% bonus: $7,000
• Suggested global funding: $32,000
• Distribution:  $35,000 in excellence scholarship, 0$ from supervisor's funds

Postdoctoral fellowships

• Minimal funding (2024-2025): $45,000 per year
• Excellence scholarship: $50,000
• 20% bonus: $10,000
• Suggested global funding: $55,000
• Distribution:  $45,000 in excellence scholarship, $10,000 from supervisor's funds

If you receive a stipend administered at the Research Center, you will begin to receive your payments approximately 3 to 4 weeks after your start date (or upon receipt of all required documents to open your file if it is not finalized at the time of your arrival - hence the importance of forwarding these documents as quickly as possible). Payments are made by direct deposit every two weeks. Consult the payroll calendar on the Intranet.

To calculate the amount to be received every two weeks, you must divide the annual amount by 26 payments.

To access your pay slips

If you want to access your pay slips, you must connect to Logibec with Internet Explorer browser (not compatible with Google Chrome), on a PC (not compatible with Mac). If you forgot your Logibec password, call 4702.

• If you are on the CHU Sainte-Justine network: go to https://paie-grh.sainte-justine.intranet/eEspresso.
• If you are not connected to the CHU Sainte-Justine network: go to https://paie-grh.chusj.org. For the first use, enter your network code as Username (ex: LACJUSXX) and your Windows password. Click on Login. The following message will be displayed " Une liaison de ce compte extranet avec un utilisateur applicatif est requise ". Click on Ok then enter your Logibec user code (e.g.: LACJUSXX) and your Logibec password. From the second use, you will be able to enter only your network code as a Username (ex: LACJUSXX) and your Windows password to connect.

If you have any questions, please contact the payroll department at Paie.hsj@ssss.gouv.qc.ca.

Declaration of hours

Students, postdoctoral fellows and trainees cannot receive a stipend based on hours worked. Stipeds must be for a fixed amount per week or year. Therefore, students, postdoctoral fellows and trainees do NOT have to declare hours in Logibec to be paid. Only employees must fill time sheets in Logibec.

Students, trainees and postdoctoral fellows (Canadian and international) paid from research funds managed at the Centre de recherche du CHU Sainte-Justine receive scholarships, not salaries. Therefore, no deductions are made for employment insurance (unemployment), parental insurance, pension plan or other benefits. Students, postdoctoral fellows and trainees are therefore not eligible to these benefits.

MSc and PhD research internships

Scholarships offered to trainees, MSc and PhD students (Canadian and international) are not taxable.

Postdoctoral fellowships

In Canada, we have two levels of taxes; federal (Canada) and provincial (Quebec). All postdoctoral fellows must pay federal taxes on their stipend. For the provincial taxes, only foreign postdoctoral fellows will pay them.

Taxes are withdrawn directly from the scholarship you receive. To estimate the amount of taxes that will be withdrawn, you can use an online tax calculator (only calculate the taxes, postdocs do not pay Quebec Pension Plan and Employment Insurance Premiums).

Foreign postdoctoral fellows

The CHU Sainte-Justine Payroll Department must withdraw taxes at the provincial and federal levels for foreign postdoctoral research trainees (work permit holders). However, scholarships are not taxable at the provincial level. Since postdoctoral research trainees receive scholarships at the Centre de recherche du CHU Sainte-Justine, they will receive a refund of provincial tax overpaid during the past year, at the time of their income tax return.

It is the responsibility of postdoctoral research trainees to file their income tax return in order to obtain this reimbursement. The Research Center is not responsible for provincial decisions and policies on the taxation of postdoctoral research trainees and cannot guarantee reimbursement of provincial taxes paid.

Receiving your tax slips

Every student, intern or postdoctoral fellow receiving a scholarship from a research fund managed at Centre de recherche du CHU Sainte-Justine will receive tax statements (T4 and RL1) from the Pay Department by regular mail around March of each year.

Students, trainees and postdoctoral fellows paid by research funds managed at the Centre de recherche du CHU Sainte-Justine are not covered by the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) and therefore do not have access to benefits for maternity or paternity leave offered to Quebec workers.

In order to obtain paid parental leave, some alternatives are possible, for example:

• Students paid through research funds subsidized by one of the three federal granting agencies (CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC) can request paid parental leave for a maximum of 12 months. To do so, the institution must submit a grant modification request.
• Holders of a training scholarship funded by one of the three federal granting agencies (CIHR, CRSNG, SSHRC) may request paid parental leave for a maximum of 12 months. To do this, the institution must submit a request for postponement of the start date or interruption of a scholarship (section “paid parental leave”).
• Maternity scholarship from the University of Montreal, valued at $4,000. Three competitions per year depending on the expected date of delivery. Deadlines are at the beginning of each trimester for deliveries scheduled in the upcoming trimester.

Submitting a request for paid parental leave

To submit a request for paid parental leave via a CIHR grant or scholarship, please contact the Academic affairs (affaires_academiques.crhsj.hsj@ssss.gouv.qc.ca) a few weeks before your leave.

People who have a scholarship with a research allowance (for example, a CIHR scholarships) managed through the Research Center can complete the form Demande de remboursement (in French only, on the intranet) and send it with the scanned copies of your receipts to comptabilite.recherche.hsj@ssss.gouv.qc.ca. Make sure that the expenses are eligible, according to the granting organization regulations, and that you do not exceed the total eligible expenses.

For all questions regarding Research Allowance, contact comptabilite.recherche.hsj@ssss.gouv.qc.ca.

At CHU Sainte-Justine, several resources are available to interns and students in the event of a difficult situation, such as:

• 24/7 Employee Assistance Program (EAP) at 1 833 819-4696

• Quality of life at work office for conflict, incivility and harassment at 514-345-4931, at extension 3787 or bureauqualite.vietravail.hsj@ssss.gouv.qc.ca

Please note that students are not normally eligible for the Harmonie program, which is reserved for employees.

Students can also use the resources of their educational institution. Here are some examples of resources available at the University of Montreal:

• Internship coordinators from your program or academic department
• Bureau du respect de la personne
• Centre de santé et de consultation psychologique
• Soutien à l’apprentissage
• Soutien aux étudiantes et étudiants en situation de handicap
• Aide financière et bourses
• Soutien à la communauté étudiante internationale et UdeM international
• Conseils carrière et Orientation scolaire et professionnelle
• Accompagner des stagiaires
• Point de repère help desk of the Faculté de médecine

Interns have the right to a Psychological or sexual harassment-free environment in the workplace. Also, everyone working at the CHU Sainte-Justine, must follow the Politique en matière de promotion de la bienveillance et de prévention du harcèlement, a policy on promoting goodwill and civility which aims to ensure a Working Environment that is marked by kindness and Civility; free from any form of behavior which undermines the respect; dignity and integrity of a person; such as harassment and violence (physical, psychological and sexual).

The Goodwill principle involves:

• Welcoming and trying to understand others; without judgement

• Recognizing the value of each individual

• Promoting dialogue and deliberation

• Support of each individual

• Treating each other with respect and encouraging an environment free of harassment and violence.

The approach favored by CHU Sainte-Justine aims to resolve problematic situations in a cooperative manner. The establishment relies on the active participation of the parties involved in order to resolve the problem before it degenerates into a situation of harassment.

If you have tried to resolve the situation (you have communicated your discomfort directly to the person concerned) and the situation persists, refer to your supervisor, to the Academic Affairs Manager  (marianne.arteau.hsj@ssss.gouv.qc.ca) or to the Deputy Director of Academic Affairs (gilles.hickson@umontreal.ca), according to your preference.

People who wish to report a situation or do a harassment complaint under the Policy on the promotion of goodwill and prevention of harassment are invited to consult the Procedure for processing harassment reports and complaints (intranet, French only), and to contact one of the people mentioned above, or contact directly the Office of Quality of Life at Work: Bureauqualite.vietravail.hsj@ssss.gouv.qc.ca, 514 345-4931, ext. 3787.

Students also have resources at their home university. Here are some resources:

• Guide de l’étudiant des ESP or Petit Guide de survie des étudiants

• Contact the person responsible for the Graduate Studies Committee of your study program (the information can be found on the program web page)

• Contact your Sponsorship Committee, if you have one

• Contact the Bureau du respect de la personne (for UdeM students)

The choice of contacting the authorities at CHU Sainte-Justine or at the university is up to the student, depending on their situation and their personal preference. You can also make an appointment with the Academic Affairs Manager directly, by following this link: Book a meeting

International students, accepted into a study program at a Canadian university, must obtain a study permit in order to study in Canada. This permit application must be made by the student after acceptance into a study program in Canada. The CHU Sainte-Justine Research Centre cannot assist you with this procedure. You may contact your university for more information and for support.

Medical exam

The CHU Sainte-Justine is a pediatric hospital. It is desirable to have a study permit valid for working in the health field and in contact with children. To this end, it is recommended - but not mandatory for study permits - that students undergo a medical exam with a Panel Physician approved by IRCC before arriving in Canada.

For more information

• Université de Montréal - International Students Office
• Government of Canada – Obtaining a study permit
• Medical exam requirements for visitors, students and workers

Some work permit exemptions are available to interns and fellows, such as the 120-day work permit exemption for researchers (this also applies to university students and to postdoctoral fellows).

To be eligible, you must have an internship convention delivered by your university, or any document demonstrating that you are doing the internship in the context of a study program from a recognized academic institution outside of Canada.

To benefit from this exemption, you must produce upon your arrival to Canada a written confirmation by the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Centre that you are eligible to this exemption. Please contact the Academic Affairs to request such a document (affaires_academiques.crhsj.hsj@ssss.gouv.qc.ca).

Upon your arrival, you should ask for a visitor record to the customs officer. A copy of this document must be sent to the Academic Affairs. Should you receive financial compensation in Canada, this record will be necessary in order to request a social insurance number.

Please note that a travel visa may also be required for traveling to Canada, even if you are eligible for a work permit exemption.

For more information

• 120-day work permit exemption for researchers
• Visitor record
• Find out if you need a visa to travel to Canada

Non-Canadian Research trainees and postdoctoral fellows who wish to stay over 120 days must apply for a work permit, whether the internship is paid or not. 

Employer-specific work permit 

To apply for an employer specific work permit, you will need a job offer number from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and a letter of invitation from the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center. For this, you must contact the Office of Academic Affairs.

Internships and fellowships work permits are exempt from the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Three types of LMIA exemptions are usually used: C21 - International Experience Canada, C44 - Post-doctoral fellows awarded a Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and C52 - Academic award recipients for research work. To be eligible to obtain a work permit specific to the CHU Sainte-Justine as part of your internship or postdoc, you must be eligible to one of these three LMIA exemptions:

International Experience Canada (IEC) (code C21)

Interns using this exemption usually have an internship agreement issued by their home university. You must first validate your eligibility for the IEC program, as the quota varies from one country to another. There are three types of categories in this program: Working Holiday, Young Professionals and International Co-op Internship.

In general, trainees are accepted in the International Co-op Internship category. It is also possible to use the Young Professionals category, but only if you will receive a stipend from your employer in Canada, that is, from your supervisor through funds at the Research Center.

For more information >>

Postdoctoral fellows awarded a Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) (code C44)

To qualify for this exemption, you must be a postdoctoral fellow, and therefore have obtained your PhD degree or equivalent less than 5 years ago.

For more information >>

Academic award recipients for research work (code C52)

To qualify for this exemption, you must be the direct recipient of an academic award (not your research supervisor). Your internship must be directly related to your school curriculum or your expertise.

For more information >>

Open work permit

An open work permit is a work permit that is not job-specific. It allows you to work for any employer for a specific time period. If you are eligible and depending on your situation, it can be beneficial to apply for an open work permit. We recommend that persons who meet one of the following criteria apply for an open work permit:

• You are an international student who graduated from a designated learning institution and are eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program.
• You have applied for permanent residency in Canada.
• You are a dependent family member of someone who applied for permanent residence.

• You are the spouse, common-law partner or dependent child of a low- or high-skilled worker

• You are the spouse or common-law partner of an international student.

If you wish to travel to Canada with an open work permit, you must undergo an medical exam before applying for this permit. This will ensure your permit allows you to work in the health sector.

For more information >>

Medical exam

The CHU Sainte-Justine is a pediatric hospital. The work permit must therefore be valid for working in the health field and in contact with children. To this end, it is recommended that the candidate undergoes a medical exam with a Panel Physician approved by IRCC before arriving in Canada. If the specification "Not authorized to work in childcare, primary/secondary school teaching, health services field occupations" is indicated on your work permit, you will not be able to register at CHU Sainte-Justine.

Medical exam requirements for temporary residents

Fees

Please note that the fees related to the work permit application, including the fees for medical examination and modification of the work permit, if applicable, are the responsibility of the candidate and will not be reimbursed by the Research Center..

French is the official language of Quebec and therefore the one used at CHU Sainte-Justine, at the Université de Montréal and all other Quebec institutions, both in written and oral communications. The French language is important in Quebec because it is the cornerstone of Quebec identity, and a precious cultural heritage that must be preserved. This is why laws protect the use of French in Quebec.   

Support for international students

Allophone students and interns who have difficulty communicating can contact the Bureau Office of Academic Affairs for assistance.  

Learning French during your stay

International students who plan to do an internship or study at CHU Sainte-Justine would greatly benefit in taking advantage of their presence in Quebec to learn French and make the most of their experience. Several resources are available for learning French:  

• Université de Montréal - Intensive francization programme
• Gouvernement du Québec – French courses offered in Québec (free)

Other useful links

• Importance of French in Québec
• Modernisation of the Charte de la langue française 
• Some online translating tools: DeepL, Google Traduction

Obtaining a Social Insurance Number (SIN)

To receive scholarship or stipend in Canada, you will need to obtain a Social Insurance Number (SIN) once you arrive in Canada. There is no charge associated with this request. In general, international students need to have a work permit or a study permit to apply for a SIN. However, if you are in Canada with a work permit exemption, you can apply for a visitor record issued by IRCC indicating that you are authorized to work in Canada. This visitor record usually has to be requested at the custom at your arrival in Canada.

Once you have the document confirming your SIN, you will need to provide a copy to Research Center’s Human Resources. The validity of this document expires on the end date of the work or study permit submitted at the time of application. If you extend your internship or your studies, an updated document with the new expiry date will be necessary.

>> Government of Canada - Applying for a Social Insurance Number

Opening a Canadian bank account

A Canadian bank account is also required to receive a scholarship or stipend through the CHU Sainte-Justine. When you arrive in Canada, you will need to chose a financial institution and open a bank account at a Canadian institution and provide the Human Resources with banking information or a check specimen. Since bank deposits are made a week and a half after each end of pay period, it is important not to close your Canadian bank account at least 2 to 4 weeks after your last paid day.

>>List of financial institutions near Université de Montréal

>> Opening a bank account

Since several documents that are necessary to open your file at CHU Sainte-Justine will be given to you upon your arrival in Canada (such as a study or work permit, visitor file and, if you receive financing, a social insurance number (SIN) and opening of a Canadian bank account), your accesses cannot be requested in advance.

Your ID card and network code will be requested as soon as all documents are received. Please allow approximately 2 to 3 days for activation.

Please send your documents as soon as you receive them to Dossiers.rh.crhsj.hsj@ssss.gouv.qc.ca

If you are receiving a scholarship from your CHU Sainte-Justine supervisor

You will be able to start your internship or your studies from the start date indicated in the Agreement document signed with your research director (date equal to or later than the validity date on your permit or visitor record), even if you have not yet received your SIN or Canadian bank account. Your financing will be paid to you retroactively when we receive the documents.

Please note that the CHU Sainte-Justine does not employ immigration representatives and cannot give advice on which programs to use for immigration application, how to complete or update an application or how to deal with Immigration Canada. For information on how to complete an immigration application, please refer to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website.

The Pediatric Rehabilitation Technopôle, located at the Centre de réadaptation Marie Enfant (CRME) of the CHU Sainte-Justine, aims to welcome children and their families, clinicians, researchers, community, institutional and industrial organizations under one roof. Thanks to this pooling of knowledge and expertise, the Technopôle aims to develop and offer innovative methods of intervention and a new generation of technological assistance in rehabilitation that will reduce the obstacles to social participation and allow the full deployment of the potential of young people with disabilities.

This new environment will allow the teams to further strengthen their leadership role in specialized and superspecialized training in rehabilitation, medical innovation and the transfer of knowledge in personalized health care and services in Quebec, Canadian and international networks by contributing to accelerate and enhance innovations.
