R-1 Main Residency Match

The R-1 Main Residency Match (R-1 match) for the postgraduate positions at the initial level is the largest CaRMS match. It encompasses all 17 Canadian medical schools and is offered twice a year. The first iteration includes all graduate students and graduates from Canada and the United States who meet basic eligibility criteria and have not completed post-graduate training in Canada or the United States. It is also open to graduates of international medical schools (IMG) who meet the basic criteria and have no postgraduate training in Canada or the United States.

The second iteration includes positions and candidates who are not followed during the first iteration, as well as candidates who have already completed postdoctoral training in Canada or the United States and other candidates who did not participate in the first iteration.
