Starting April 13 (the day after match day) all of the open residency spots from around the country will be posted on a list on CaRMS - these are programs that either didn't have enough people apply OR for whatever reason chose not to fill all their spots with the applicants that did apply. This is the starting point for the 2nd iteration of the CaRMS match. At that point you can either pick a specialty from the new list and apply again or just apply again next year (often taking the 1 year to do more electives in medical school and make you more competitive) 🤙
We're definitely going to keep it going (or at least try!) I'm looking into hiring a video editor and platform manager but will be able to look into it more once match season is over :D I think a website would also be cool for students to have a forum other than premed 101 and student doctor network
Good luck with the match . Pretty sure you gonna match with the one of your choice . This video is only one of its kind here on TH-cam, thanks for the detailed information 🙌🏼
You don't need luck, you already got it! Manifestation and hardwork will pretty much get you going through anything, am I right? I'll say this regardless tho, best of luck my guy, rooting for you!
Wow it must be a taxing process! Best of luck man, I'm sure you'll be successful, drawing on the same energy you've put in for everything else you've done previously!
You give amazing information, best of luck for you. I wanted to know if you know about how to apply to a residency in Canada being an international student that is not living in the country
Hey Santiago :) Glad to hear that the videos have helped. I have made a previous video about the topic that you are asking about. Please see it if you are interested and good luck!
Holly smokes that seems to be so complex. Ok so u apply for family medicine. What would a subspecialty be?? I think u would make a awesome family Doctor!
Tell me about it lol 🥲 A subspecialty for family medicine would be emergency medicine / OB/GYN / Anesthesia / or even surgery in some cases! This might need to be a topic for another video but in some rural parts of the country, you can do 2 years of family medicine, do a plus 1 year training program in surgery and then work as a surgeon. From what I've heard, this tends to be more common in places without surgeons who did the 5-7 year specialty training. Thanks Sherry :D
Since Canadian residencies select candidates BEFORE MCCQE 1, what academic grades do they use to assess residents? Med school grades? That is a problem because some schools have pas/ fail grading system.
Most schools in Canada use a pass/fail system (I actually think its all of them at this point, but can't confirm). Grades are not used in the selection process beyond raising red flags about applicants if you've failed. The selection system relies on ECs, publications, letters of recommendation and your various assessments from your clerkship electives - you can see my full residency application for more info
Hello I’m gonna start my first year of medical school from this year Will you please help me how to prepare for Canadian licensing exam starting from 1st year?
you need to be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. IMG simply means that you graduated from a non - Canadian school. There are many Canadian citizens that could not get into a Canadian school and travel elsewhere for medical school. They are still considered IMGs
For recent updates are USMLE steps (1,2,3) generally accepted in replacement of Canadian exams when applying for CaRMS or is it limited in some programs only?
Sorry Roberto, that's a pretty niche topic - especially since I'm not an internal medicine applicant. Your best bet would be to look it up on the website so that I don't get anything wrong :) Good luck!
Hi dr ! Do you know if the 2024 ecfmg accreditation changes will affect a student who is planning on applying to take the canadian board exams. My school is on the world directory of medical schools and will be when i graduate in 3 months. Thank you!
Hi there :) As far as I know, the changes should not affect your eligibility to take the exam! But please double check with the CMA / regulatory bodies. Good luck!
I know in the US students applying for residency that year have a student created forum on reddit or discord where they discuss all things residency applications. there are even specialty specific excel spreadsheets with user contribution information. is there something like this created for med students in Canada?
Unfortunately for Canadian students... the online community for medical students / residents is significantly smaller in size than for our American counterparts. There was a forum created this year, but to my knowledge, much of it was relevant to IMGs trying to match into Canada. I definitely think we'll have more forums and student shared resources in the near future though :)
Previously I believe you were only required to do 1 year to get your "general medicine" license. The 2 year program is very fast paced as I understand it :)
All salaries in Canada are taxed my friend - there are different rules for tax breaks and exemptions in some cases, but you'd need to see an accountant about that
In what sense? The applications are mostly similar with some key differences from what I've seen. IMG vs CMG is also a crucial part - if you're a CMG applying to the states for residency, you need your USMLE exams as well. Familiarize yourself with both applications for your applicant category and good luck :)
Great video! As usual very interesting and informative! Just one question - does Canadian Cardiac Sonography education (and license) help IMG to get a residency in Canada? Thanks
Can you explain the process for a Canadian who studies med school internationally such as in Ireland try to apply to match for residency in USA and Canada. Any resources or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Good luck on your match day in April.
Can US passport holders apply for the carms? And if yes .. then do they need to apply directly or they need to apply for Canadian permanent resident card?
wait a minute 3:40 so you need to be a Permanent resident in order to get matched into a residency? how do i get that? i have never lived in canada🤔, also what if my school is not accredited by wfme? is that gonna be a problem when applying for a match in canada?
Do we need ielts score at any point of time.. i want to work in cannada as a doctor.. so do i need ielts score for any purpose and please tell what ielts score is needed
Yes, but IMGs will need to have different things to apply - exams, language proficiency requirements, etc. We all go through CaRMS though and still have access to the first and second round of applications 🤙
No :) You can apply for a +1 training year which we refer to as an enhanced skills year that allows you to specialize. But technically that's not truly a fellowship as I understand the definition
In medical school, we have mandatory rotations and clerkship electives where we get to choose which rotations we want to do. Those chosen electives are our "clerkship electives" :)
Hello bro ! May I ask question if you don’t mind. I‘m a final year medical student in Uzbekistan, and can I continue my master’s degree in Canadian universities ?
Hi there...I'm amazed by your channel.. I'm a post graduate in anesthesiology.. I wanted to apply for fellowships in Canada.. to be more specific in Ontario and Vancouver... Please help me with it ... Can u give me any general format of indent Letter and curriculum vitae that is more general in Canada... Can I get your email id.. for further information
What if you don’t match into any specialty? (No backup). Do you re-apply to the same ones in the next cycle?
Starting April 13 (the day after match day) all of the open residency spots from around the country will be posted on a list on CaRMS - these are programs that either didn't have enough people apply OR for whatever reason chose not to fill all their spots with the applicants that did apply.

Making movessssssss. I've enjoyed watching your journey thus far, I hope you continue to youtube after you match - but if not, fair enough.
We're definitely going to keep it going (or at least try!) I'm looking into hiring a video editor and platform manager but will be able to look into it more once match season is over :D I think a website would also be cool for students to have a forum other than premed 101 and student doctor network
Good luck! I hope you get matched into the program and site of your choice!!

Hello
I’m gonna start my first year of medical school from this year
Will you please help me how to prepare for Canadian licensing exam starting from 1st year?
Hi there, please see my video going over everything about the Canadian exam :)
A simple question. Can I apply for matching as an IMG without being a Canadian citizen or if to have a permanent license? This what IMG stands for.
you need to be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. IMG simply means that you graduated from a non - Canadian school. There are many Canadian citizens that could not get into a Canadian school and travel elsewhere for medical school. They are still considered IMGs
Thank you
No problem :D
For recent updates are USMLE steps (1,2,3) generally accepted in replacement of Canadian exams when applying for CaRMS or is it limited in some programs only?
Could you make a video about how Many exams do you need for a match as an IMG for R-1 in Internal Medicine
Sorry Roberto, that's a pretty niche topic - especially since I'm not an internal medicine applicant. Your best bet would be to look it up on the website so that I don't get anything wrong :) Good luck!
So Basically you have to be in Canada before you apply for residency, is that correct
No :) You can be living anywhere so long as yo have Canadian citizen status or permanent residency
Hi dr !
Do you know if the 2024 ecfmg accreditation changes will affect a student who is planning on applying to take the canadian board exams. My school is on the world directory of medical schools and will be when i graduate in 3 months.
Thank you!
Hi there :) As far as I know, the changes should not affect your eligibility to take the exam! But please double check with the CMA / regulatory bodies. Good luck!
Very competitive
Can you give the mccqe1 without a PR card?
I know in the US students applying for residency that year have a student created forum on reddit or discord where they discuss all things residency applications. there are even specialty specific excel spreadsheets with user contribution information. is there something like this created for med students in Canada?
Unfortunately for Canadian students... the online community for medical students / residents is significantly smaller in size than for our American counterparts. There was a forum created this year, but to my knowledge, much of it was relevant to IMGs trying to match into Canada. I definitely think we'll have more forums and student shared resources in the near future though :)
Wow?! Only 2 years of residency for family doctor nowadays?
Previously I believe you were only required to do 1 year to get your "general medicine" license. The 2 year program is very fast paced as I understand it :)
Sir does medical residency salaries get taxed? Nice video.
All salaries in Canada are taxed my friend - there are different rules for tax breaks and exemptions in some cases, but you'd need to see an accountant about that
wow that’s so competitive 😭
Unfortunately 🥲
Do you have any advice on what I can student can do if they're planning to apply to both the American (March 24) and Canadian (April 12) match?
In what sense? The applications are mostly similar with some key differences from what I've seen. IMG vs CMG is also a crucial part - if you're a CMG applying to the states for residency, you need your USMLE exams as well. Familiarize yourself with both applications for your applicant category and good luck :)
How does my odds change if I am an IMG and have written USMLE ?
having taken the USMLEs (American exams) do not impact your Canadian application significantly
Great video! As usual very interesting and informative! Just one question - does Canadian Cardiac Sonography education (and license) help IMG to get a residency in Canada? Thanks
What if we get a medical degree from any country other than Canada?
Can we get residency in Canada after that ?
Yes, but you will be applying as an IMG :) Please see my video for international students and doctors looking to come to Canada
Hi Sir, is Sports and Exercise Medicine available as a residency programme?
Does any medschool accept me, i only have graduate degree in neuroscience?
Please review my video that breaks down the various acceptance criteria for the Canadian medical schools :)
Can you explain the process for a Canadian who studies med school internationally such as in Ireland try to apply to match for residency in USA and Canada. Any resources or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Good luck on your match day in April.
Hi Rosemarie :) Please see one of my previous videos on the process for international students. Best of luck
@@nxtgenmd can you pls share us the link as I'm unable to find it in your playlist.
hey...im an American citizen...do i need a canadian PR to apply for canadian residency..thank you
Can US passport holders apply for the carms? And if yes .. then do they need to apply directly or they need to apply for Canadian permanent resident card?
You need to be a Canadian citizen (or have a PR card) to apply to CaRMS. There's no exceptions
is there a limit to the number of options that I can apply for?
wait a minute 3:40 so you need to be a Permanent resident in order to get matched into a residency? how do i get that? i have never lived in canada🤔, also what if my school is not accredited by wfme? is that gonna be a problem when applying for a match in canada?
Thank you, this was really helpful. See you in residency!! :) knock on wood
Thanks Ayesha, glad it helped :) See you on the wards 🤙
Do we need ielts score at any point of time.. i want to work in cannada as a doctor.. so do i need ielts score for any purpose and please tell what ielts score is needed
Is it the same process for a IMG student?
And good luck
Yes, but IMGs will need to have different things to apply - exams, language proficiency requirements, etc. We all go through CaRMS though and still have access to the first and second round of applications 🤙
Is there free housing in hospital for resident
Do you need to do fellowship for family doctor?
No :) You can apply for a +1 training year which we refer to as an enhanced skills year that allows you to specialize. But technically that's not truly a fellowship as I understand the definition
💯💯
What r undergraduate clerkship electives? :0
In medical school, we have mandatory rotations and clerkship electives where we get to choose which rotations we want to do. Those chosen electives are our "clerkship electives" :)
How many medical specialities can I choose?
So many
