From the McGill website:

A typical undergraduate degree at McGill is 120–140 credits (four years of full-time study). Quebec CEGEP students typically receive 30 credits of Advanced Standing, so they will usually only have a further 90–110 credits (three years of full-time study) to complete.

In that sense, McGill works like an Ontario university, which might credit you a year for your CÉGEP classes.
Traditionally, it's true that Québec bachelors are 3 years, but there's been coursework inflation in certain sectors. Engineering and teaching are both 4 year bachelors (which does mean that Québec students in those programs end up doing an extra year overall).
