What do the program details say on their websites. Google is your friend.

My friend google does not says anything about publication at all.

Boss, Google the university website, the select the program you are interested in, then click admission requirements. The admission requirements will tell you if publication is necessary or not.

I never said that google will tell you if you need publication. I said the program details will tell you what they require for admission. You can use Google to search for the college websites or directly to the program page.

I have just googled university of mcgill chemical engineering and I got this

https://www.mcgill.ca/chemeng/grad/admission

This tells you all the requirements needed. Like this you need to do for all the universities you want. You will get an instant answer, it's very simple.

None of the masters programs require publication but if you are doing a research based masters it will certainly help.

I have searched all the university sites already; they doesn't specify anything about research paper.
I have asked here because I thought people already got offer and studying there might

If your admission requirements don't have research paper then you're in the clear.

Had you told that you had already searched through and are looking for clarification then I would not have replied that way. I would assume that you have not done so. There is no way for me to know that you have gone through.

Admission requirements are what's the bare minimum required for entering. If publication is not there then you can apply but anyone who might meet the qualifications and have a publication would be chosen first, especially if your coming for a research based program.

See , publications are considered when you are interested in Research based programs,
Because in those programs you have to secure a supervisor, and they give you preference when you have something like publications,Research thesis, papers etc.

All the universities that you have mentioned are reserach universites,
So yes,
Publications are essential in these universities, you have an advantage if you are having one or more publications,

You can always go for Course based Masters,

And all the universities that you have mentioned are highly prestigious and selective,

I would recommend a GRE, Good IELTS , if not a Research paper , then mention your works in SOP ,

Because in the end its a Professor that you have to secure, for supervision
