What are the steps to licensing my application?

The exact steps and requirements can vary depending on the circumstances and the province/territory where you intend to practice. Here is a general overview of the process:

1. Eligibility Assessment: The first step is to determine if you meet the eligibility criteria set by the Medical Council of Canada. This usually involves having completed a medical degree from a recognized institution and meeting specific language proficiency requirements (usually English or French).
2. Medical Council of Canada Evaluating Examination (MCCEE): International medical graduates often need to take the MCCEE, an examination that assesses basic medical knowledge. Please note that the MCCEE has been phased out and replaced by the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE) Part I.
3. Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE) Part I: This is an essential examination that assesses the medical knowledge and clinical skills of international medical graduates. It’s required for licensure in Canada.
4. Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE) Part II: This is a practical examination that assesses clinical skills and is required for licensure.
5. National Assessment Collaboration (NAC) Examination: Some provinces/territories require the NAC Examination, which assesses clinical skills and knowledge relevant to Canadian medical practice.
6. Medical Licensure Application: After successfully completing the required examinations, you can apply for medical licensure through the provincial/territorial medical regulatory authority. Each province/territory has its own medical regulatory authority responsible for licensing physicians.
7. Postgraduate Training: Depending on the province/territory, you may need to complete a period of supervised postgraduate training (residency) before obtaining full medical licensure.
8. Licensure: Once you have met all the requirements set by the relevant medical regulatory authority; you will be granted a license to practice medicine in that province or territory.
