If your goal is to pursue a PhD in finance and you have an offer to begin a finance PhD program this fall, I don't understand the issue. There are no guarantees that you will be admitted to a program in the future. Competition seemingly increases each year. To me, it's a no brainer but good luck with your decision!

This is quoted from McGill's brochure:

Recent McGill-Desautels graduates have accepted positions in academic, international and private institutions,
including Goldman Sachs, International Monetary Fund, McKinsey & Co., University of Amsterdam (Netherlands),
Universidad Austral (Argentina), Tsinghua University (China) and York University (Canada). The average starting salary
for recent graduates is C$125,000.

If you are comfortable with those placements, you should absolutely take the offer, why mess around for a year and test the admissions waters. If not..., then your decision is much tougher.

Good luck.

Montreal is probably the nicest city in the world. You have the opportunity to spend 5 years there and get a good PhD.
