Canada needs foreign doctors, as the country’s healthcare sector lacks skilled workers. That is why foreign medical graduates (those who have obtained a medical degree outside Canada) are also allowed to practice in Canada. Here they are also given permanent residency. This means that students studying MBBS in India can also go to Canada and take up a doctor’s job.
Canada needs foreign doctors, as the country’s healthcare sector lacks skilled workers. That is why foreign medical graduates (those who have obtained a medical degree outside Canada) are also allowed to practice in Canada. Here they are also given permanent residency. This means that students studying MBBS in India can also go to Canada and take up a doctor’s job.
However, although Canada allows foreign medical graduates to practice, it is subject to various examinations and residency requirements. The Medical Council of Canada (MCC) has set rules for foreign medical graduates, following which they can practice in the country. Let us know how students who have completed MBBS in India can go to Canada to become a doctor and practice here.
Canada has two official languages — English and French. Everyone working here needs to be fluent in at least one language, so that they can communicate with patients. According to the Medical Regulatory Authority (MRA), foreign medical graduates must provide proof of English or French language proficiency. They can provide this evidence by showing scores from tests such as IELTS or TEF Canada.
Foreign medical graduates must first create an account by visiting physiciansapply.ca. After this you have to get your MBBS degree and academic transcript verified through it. This will prove that you are eligible for medical residency in Canada. From here you will be able to apply for the license exam conducted by MCC.
Foreign medical graduates must first pass the MCCQE Part I examination. It is a computer-based exam that tests one’s medical knowledge. After this, they also have to pass the National Assessment Collaboration (NAC) exam, which tests how well they are able to treat patients. It may be called a clinical test. Passing this test is mandatory for the residency program.
Completing residency in Canada is one of the biggest challenges in becoming a doctor. MBBS students from India will first have to apply for residency through the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS). When a foreign medical student gets a seat for residency, he has to start studying and training again. Residency is completed in 2 to 6 years.
After completing the residency, the MCCQE Part II exam is also required to be passed. There are some Canadian provinces where it is necessary to qualify to practice. Similarly, certification from the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) is required. Finally, in whichever province one wants to work, one has to get a license from the medical regulatory authority there. Along with this you have to apply for a license of the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC) and get it. With this you can practice in Canada.
