LMCC

The MCC confirms successful completion of 12 months PGT directly with the Canadian universities; therefore, candidates are not required to create a source verification request (SVR) and submit written proof of their postgraduate training completed in Canada.

Note: The MCC reserves the right to request additional confirmation from the university and/or from the candidate if required.

Before applying to the LMCC, your medical degree and an acceptable document that confirms the successful completion of 12 months of postgraduate clinical medical training must be source-verified.

How to submit a source verification request

For candidates who have successfully completed 12 months of postgraduate clinical medical training outside Canada or the United States postgraduate clinical osteopathic training, the proof-of-training document must:

• State the program discipline(s)
• Include the start and end dates of the completed training
• Be issued by the affiliated university or hospital on official letterhead (the full address and contact information of the issuing institution must appear on the document[s] or be provided on a separate document)
• Be signed and dated by the dean or the director responsible for the training program

The document will be reviewed after you submit your request for the LMCC to determine whether eligibility requirements have been met.

Note:

• Clerkships, clinical fellowships, memberships, and research or work positions do not qualify as postgraduate clinical medical training.
• Documents are subject to review and approval on an individual basis.
• The MCC reserves the right to request additional documentation.

A copy of your specialty certificate from one of the following is acceptable as proof of postgraduate training:

• The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada
• The College of Family Physicians of Canada
• A member board of the American Board of Medical Specialities
• Certification obtained by a medical specialty board or college outside Canada or the United States must be accompanied by
  • An official letter that states the start and end dates of completed clinical medical training and program discipline/rotations

  • Please note that full medical school transcripts from Morocco must include the 6th and 7th years

Exceptions:

• India and Egypt:
  • The internship certificate is acceptable as proof of medical training.
  • The medical school transcript and the prediploma training attestation form are not required.
• Iran:
  • The full medical transcript is acceptable without the prediploma training attestation form.
