Athira, how many universities in Canada offers 1 year master? Not too many unless it is some Micki Mouse university. Generally in Canada bachelors degree is 4 years. My nephew's son is chugging away in his 4 yr B. Med.Sc at western university. This will be followed by 4 year MD. That is 4+4+ 2(minimum residency) to get a medical license. After that specialization is another story.
