This was a really good video. I wish Canada evaluates their system and open more seats for IMGs so the system can expand. Its really unfortunate as in the USA they seem better in adapting and seat wise too for medical graduates. Thanks for sharing your information, it will help a lot of people out there.

[@DrSivaMahalingam]

Thank you for watching Sunethra. Yea I agree. Canada is a very competitive environment. The other option is to train in the US and then come over to Canada which is an option many people choose to pursue.

Hi. Dr.Shiva , does foreign IMG who is already working as doctor in their country have to undergo same exam procedures as fresh foreign medical graduates ? if no please upload a new video regarding this. Thank you so much for sharing such a valuable information.

Hello sir. U r dng a great job. Can u pls describe about the specialist pathway to Canada. I m a pediatrician from India

[@alexanderanikin2551]

Hi, Siva! Thanks a lot for this guide. Did you mean 'Essential Med Notes' when you recommended 'Medical Notes'?

[@nakisaseverin6322]

This is the most terrifying thing I've ever looked at. Past that exam is the matching process which is highly dependent on your results as an IMG. I find USMLE has more guidance when it comes to study. WIth the MCCQE, its basically "lol Good luck." USMLE has videos, books, question banks. MCCQE seems to have almost nothing except the trust that you went to medical school lol. I say this because he mentioned using u world which is mostly for USMLE.

[@krishnapanikar5567]

Finally! I found a relevent video on MCCQE thanks for your efforts! Waiting for OSCE part. 🤍🙌

[@TheDrugbug]

A very informative video Shiva! Thank you for the content, please continue creating more videos on becoming a resident in Canada. Approximately can you let us know long will it take for the entire process, starting from MCCQE1 to becoming a resident considering the fact that we clear everything in one go?

[@DrSivaMahalingam]

you could technically get all of it done in 1.5 years. But keep in mind matching from a country outside UK/Ireland/Australia is much much harder

[@matteocipriani6338]

@@DrSivaMahalingam Hello Dr. Shiva, just one question, what do you mean when you say "matching from a country outside UK/Ireland/Australia is much much harder"? Does that mean that UK or Australia for example have some kind of conventions with Canada that makes the process of matching easier for students that live there?

[@DrSivaMahalingam]

For the MCCQE1, I would recommend using Canada QBANK, UWORLD questions banks available on the internet (have to purchase an online membership) and then use your medical school notes. Also Toronto Notes would be good to study the community health section and ethics. I hope this helps! Good luck!
