I think now I learned how to make wireless accounts for visitors, for *multiple* days as well.
I am sharing this with you, in case.
[Step 1: Make 1-day wireless account] (almost copying Wang Yi's email)
Here you can apply for wireless accounts for guests. Login using
mcgill email address (@mcgill.ca or @mail.mcgill.ca, not the physics
department account), then fill a form to apply for a one-day account.
One can apply 5 such accounts per day.

[Step 2: Request extension for those accounts] (thanks Pat Scott for encouragements and tips)
As explained here, http://kb.mcgill.ca/kb/?ArticleId=1021#tab:homeTab:crumb:7:artId:1021
ask for extension at ICS service desk.
*The Guest Network Account will be active for one day. If you need an account to be activated longer than one day, create the Guest Network Account first, and then contact the ICS Service Desk to request additional time. Be sure to provide the username of the account. (I specified the dates, names, and usernames)

I made requests for some visitors, and got a positive confirmation email.
I haven't had a visitor to test the result experimentally.
I have given out 1-day account to all the prospective seminar speakers. For those I know the duration of the stay, I also had their 1-day accounts to be extended through an extra step. I will extend others accounts, as I learn their travel dates.
