Thank you Doctor.

Hello sir, Thank you for this video i have just completed my final year examination in india and will be starting my internship soon. I have not yet begun my preparation for my exams. I had a few questions if you could help me; 1. Could you let me know what is the best timeline to take my exams MCCQE 1 and NAC OSCE? I will be graduating in April 2025. And when should i apply for carms? 2. What documents should i get prepared from my college during my internship that are a requirement in the carms applications? 3. Can i apply for electives in canada? Or should i opt for observerships after i graduate?

The exams for CaRMS are better to complete sooner than later. This is competitive, the sooner you finish all the requirements, better it is for you www.IMGSecrets.com

Hello sir First Aid USMLE step2 CK + BNB videos( step 2) is enough to pass MCCQ1 ?

[@IMGSecrets]

In my opinion, Toronto notes would be a valuable addition. If you are an IMG, plan on getting a high score and not just passing MCCQE1. www.IMGSecrets.com

[@pratikchandel1149]

Hello sir thanku so much for this video it’s very helpful but could you please tell us about the MCCQE part 1 like is it just the pass fail exam like PLAB or we need to score high to get into good speciality

[@IMGSecrets]

MCCQE1 is reported as a score between 100-400. Although the programs look at the whole package, in our opinion, the higher scores you have the better it is www.IMGSecrets.com

Hello Sir. Extremely thankful for detailed vlogs on Canadian pathway for IMGs. Reaching Canada and practicing there has been my dream for decade now. I recently graduated in 2021, completed MBBS, and done with Internship now. Right now I'm in processing with Irish Medical Council, but deep down I want to move to Canada. Since everyone from my country Pakistan either take MRCP/PLAB or USMLE pathway, and also less guidance is available about IMGs pathway to Canada. I want to take this mccqe1 exam in a year from now. Also want to apply for PR visa, if successful in both, will this allow me to work as GP in Canada? In any province?

[@IMGSecrets]

Thank you for watching the videos. To work as a GP in Canada, it's important to complete residency training in Canada or another country and follow the necessary steps for recognition in Canada. Along with passing the MCCQE1 and obtaining permanent residency, fulfilling these requirements will allow you to practice as a GP in your preferred province.

[@driqrailahi6610]

Sir I’m graduated from Pakistan in 2018. Recently got married.My husband will file our PR after 1 year (once he completed his 1 year full time job requirement ). What will be the route should i follow to practice in Canada ? And what are the things should i need to do while I’m still in my home country ?

[@IMGSecrets]

Residency or Fellowship depending on experience and expertise www.IMGSecrets.com

[@junayddarr6836]

For the province based specialist pathway with hospital restricted license, you don't need to take the exam at all! If not then what is the criteria for this pathway exactly as I would like to know if I can acquire fellowship based on my training in Pakistan.

[@IMGSecrets]

Dr. Junayd, the first step is you have to get in as a clinical fellow and typically after completing a year to few years of fellowship, based on your accomplishments and the relationships you have with the hospitals, they may decide to offer you a province based specialist pathway after which the province based restricted license cycle kicks in. To my knowledge, there are no criteria specified that you can find online. This is the reason I share the secrets here. This is based on my many years of experience of me being an IMG in Canada and seeing many successful IMGs. The first step is to get in as a clinical fellow. Not easy but possible if one has an accomplished CV in their home country.

[@IMGSecrets]

I saw your question on the MCCQE1. At this time it is not required for Province Based pathway but Canada may decide to change this rule anytime. There is nothing you, me, or any IMG can do about this except that we just have to follow the rules. So I would focus on the bigger picture of establishing as a successful IMG and not worry about these small steps like exams, paperwork, etc. that come in the way!

Hello sir, thank you for your valuable advices. I've just discovered your channel and it's a blessing thank you 🙏 Plz i ve a question: what is it a clinical fellow exactly? Is it different from the restrictive pathway? Actually i've done some researches before and in the restrictive pathway the MCC QE is required! May be i m confusing all the routes to get the restrictive liscence. I will appreciate your reply sir, and thank you again for your effort and time.

[@IMGSecrets]

Thanks for watching the videos. Good question. Fellowship is a one to few year super specialization done after residency. License is what is required to practice. No MCC exam required for either

[@sarouahbanwes3766]

If yes, asides for MCCQE 1, which other exams am I taking? 4) I heard MCCQE 2 has been cancelled, please is it true?

Hello. Thanks for the informative video. I am anesthesiologist from Nepal. I am practicing anesthesia since 2006. I want to come to Canada under province based hospital restricted pathway. How is my prospect there? Plz do suggest.

[@IMGSecrets]

Dr. Yugesh, i cannot comment specifically at your situation without knowing you and your CV. However, in general, i can say, you have a long clinical experience and its worth applying to a clinical fellowship to figure out where you stand. Once you get in to the system, then you can focus on next steps.

[@yugeshdhungana8289]

@@IMGSecrets Does age deter in getting the fellowship? I am 45 already. I want to get enrolled in pain management fellowship.

[@IMGSecrets]

@@yugeshdhungana8289 I wouldn't say age directly but more so how many years since graduation can be a factor. It also depends on how active you were academically and clinically during these years. I would say its worth applying.

Hi sir .... i have done my post graduation and senior residency in obg from india.... what will be best pathway to practice in canada

[@IMGSecrets]

In my opinion, one of the most advantageous routes to consider, Dr. Priyanka, is entering as a clinical fellow and exploring the province-based specialist pathway. I will be releasing a comprehensive step-by-step guide designed to assist aspiring doctors like yourself in navigating the specialist pathway. This guide will serve as a valuable resource, providing you with insights, tips, and strategies to increase your chances of success. I encourage you to keep a close eye out for this upcoming video. www.IMGSecrets.com

[@esegift9169]

Informative What of African countries like Nigeria,,, I have done residency halfway but already have a certificate west Africa college of physician, in internal medicine and currently on my 2 years to be cardiologist but i want to continue in canada ,will I start all over again

[@IMGSecrets]

Depends on how keen you are to move to Canada. Being trained from Nigeria, the Royal College pathways are super difficult to get into. The options i can think fo are 1. You can apply for fellowships in Cardiology (after you have completed Cardiology). If successful then you can explore province based specialist pathway 2. In the mean while think of preparing yourself to apply for IM residency (depending on how much keen you are moving to Canada) Check this video where i have explained these in detail kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGHUqYR4i7N5atU
