Examinations
The Medical Council of Canada grants a qualification in medicine known as the Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC) to physicians who have met its requirements. The LMCC is a part of the Canadian Standard, the set of requirements physicians need to meet to apply for a full licence to practise medicine in Canada. The MCC offers four exams, of which three lead up to the LMCC.

If you graduated from a medical school outside of Canada or the U.S., or if you graduated from a U.S. School of Osteopathic Medicine, you must pass the Medical Council of Canada Evaluating Examination (MCCEE) before you are eligible to practise in Canada. You also need to pass the MCCEE to apply for the MCCQE Part I.
NAC Examination
International medical graduates applying for residency must pass the National Assessment Collaboration (NAC) Examination, which tests for the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to enter a residency training program in Canada.
MCCQE Part I
The MCC administers two qualifying examinations: the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE) Part I and the MCCQE Part II. You must pass both to become a Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC). You must pass the MCCQE Part I before you can take the MCCQE Part II.
MCCQE Part II
You must pass the MCCQE Part II before you can receive your LMCC qualification. You will also need to have successfully completed (or be close to completing) 12 months of postgraduate clinical medical training.
