You can get by with just English just fine at McGill, all classes are in English, although you do have the option of taking any exams in French. Montreal is very bilingual for the most part, you can easily get by with just English and some handwaving on occasion. (Although you do on occasion run across someone who treats English-only speakers rather rudely.) Rural Quebec and Quebec City are a different story, with Quebec City being somewhat English friendly in the tourist parts, but you’ll be in the weeds in rural Quebec.

And just for the record, Canadian French and French French are two rather different languages, so if you want to learn to speak it, just plan on doing so while there.
