If grad school is in the works, you can aim for D.C. or thereabouts at that time.

IR, as you probably know, can be considered a sub-field of political science, so with respect to your career, it’s no big deal to graduate with a PS major, especially if you can focus on IR in grad studies. IR is broad and interdisciplinary >> check McGill for coursework that touches upon IR. If they offer a minor, good enough.

On the other hand, if undergrad internships are very important to you (in the subfield/job you eventually want to work in), then American has an advantage. Phone McGill and clear up what internships are on offer in Ottawa (or if you can create one).
