Secure one of the few residency spots allocated to IMGS

Have you completed your medical degree abroad in the UK, Australia, the Caribbean or at another international faculty? Is your plan to practice medicine in Canada or the US? Look to our team of advisors to help secure your ideal IMG residency match … and launch a successful career as a doctor in North America.

With new international medical graduate competition on the rise each year, securing a good medical residency can be extremely challenging for an IMG in Canada. And being matched with the right US residency for an IMG doctor can be even tougher. In most cases, it won’t be enough to simply apply through CaRMS or ERAS. You’ll need to carefully position and polish your application to outshine other strong candidates with degrees from North American medical faculties.

Since 2008, MedApplications have been a trusted resource for IMGs hailing from medical schools around the world. Securing medical residency in the US, or medical residency in Canada for international students today requires the specialized advice of experienced advisors and a focused strategy for success.

Our leading consulting team, evidence-based approach and strong track record of success are just a few reasons why we remain the first choice for most young doctors seeking the best fit IMG residency match in Canada or the US.

What you should know about medical residency in Canada for international students

Of course, the best way for a foreign national to practice medicine in North America is securing a good residency here. For an IMG in Canada or the US, getting selected at a choice residency, however, can be challenging as competition for these select positions is extremely tough.

Here are some tips to help IMGs compete for and IMG residency match:

A. Be sure you are eligible

Take care that you can meet all the eligibility requirements that may vary depending on the Canadian or US residency program you hope to attend. For starters, you will need to:

  • Have either Canadian or US citizenship, or permanent resident status 
  • Have successfully completed all exam requirements  
  • Demonstrate language proficiency through an assessment (English or French) if you attended a program overseas that was taught in another language

B. Make certain you meet specific state or province requirements

Depending on where you are applying, different provinces and states have their own special requirements. In some cases, you may have to provide additional documentation or forms to verify your medical degree. It is also possible you will be asked to complete additional examinations, or sign an agreement indicating you are committed to practicing in a medical specialty for a specific window of time.

C. Demonstrate your true worth and fit.

The truth is your application will have to stand out and be exceptional, over and above many others who completed their degree here in North American medical schools. For IMGs in Canada and the US, securing residency means extra attention and hard work to make the strongest pitch possible. Only then will you have hope of securing the IMG residency match you desire. Ensure you have stellar reference letters and are crystal clear to the evaluators about why and where you want to practice medicine, and why you are a superior fit for their program. All these things will factor into whether or not you will be accepted at a good residency.
