This is the most terrifying thing I've ever looked at. Past that exam is the matching process which is highly dependent on your results as an IMG. I find USMLE has more guidance when it comes to study. WIth the MCCQE, its basically "lol Good luck." USMLE has videos, books, question banks. MCCQE seems to have almost nothing except the trust that you went to medical school lol. I say this because he mentioned using u world which is mostly for USMLE.
Thank you for this video. Most creators of this content make you anxious by forcing unrealistic goals on you, like 6 hours of preparation per day every day. For a year, no, I cannot do it.
This was a really good video. I wish Canada evaluates their system and open more seats for IMGs so the system can expand. Its really unfortunate as in the USA they seem better in adapting and seat wise too for medical graduates. Thanks for sharing your information, it will help a lot of people out there.
Thank you for watching Sunethra. Yea I agree. Canada is a very competitive environment. The other option is to train in the US and then come over to Canada which is an option many people choose to pursue.
Am in second year med schoolindia right now ans i want to pursue residency in canada this video seems like i can do because am also not belonging to medicinei i belong to cpa india this makes me feel like i can aslo do it

Hello Dr, my name is Martin, a Nigerian. What’s the procedure to gain placement as a foreign medical doctor who is a senior resident in his/her home country but desires to move to Canada to practice, specifically to continue in his/her field of medicine.
Hi Siva. Thanks for this nice and informative video. I have 2 questions, the first one: I have graduated more than 10 years ago from Egypt and I didn't practise medicine since 2011, but I got a master degree in Immunology from Canada in 2018. Do I still have a chance to continue medicine in Canada? The 2nd question: Is it too hard for immigrants to get to family medicine?

@@DrSivaMahalingam Hello Dr. Shiva, just one question, what do you mean when you say "matching from a country outside UK/Ireland/Australia is much much harder"? Does that mean that UK or Australia for example have some kind of conventions with Canada that makes the process of matching easier for students that live there?
Thankyou so much for the wonderful video. The information you have given is very helpful. I have completed my Radiology in India. I am going to apply for fellowship in year 2022.

If not what Board exams are required to work in Canada. I am not planning to do Residency in Canada. Thanks in advance
