INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL GRADUATE (IMG)

If you are an IMG from Pakistan and applying for residency in Canada or have questions about how to practice medicine in Canada, please get in touch with us with questions you may have. We will try to answer your questions promptly.

We are also aiming to provide Pakistani IMGs with the following services:

We understand the challenge IMGs face in obtaining experience in Canadian healthcare settings before applying for medical licensure. We aim to provide observership opportunities to Pakistani IMGs through our organization to help them get Canadian experience and LORs from current working physicians.

Please obtain your educational license for observership from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC and contact us. We will try to help connect you with a preceptor for an observership.

We strongly recommend the IMGs at least successfully pass their MCCQE1 before applying for an observership. Due to a limited number of spots, we will not be able to accommodate all IMGs but we will try our best to provide an opportunity to most applicants.

Residency applications can be pretty challenging, and Interviews are an essential part of postgraduate training applications. We aim to provide these services to Pakistani IMGs free of cost. 

Please contact us if you need guidance towards applying for postgraduate training in Canada or interview preparation. You will be connected with a mentor who will work with you on your application and interviews.

Information regarding IMG eligibility to apply for residency in BC can be found Here. 

Information about the Clinical assessment Program can be found Here. There will be an opportunity to connect with peers for practice and guidance through mentors.

We will be hosting periodic seminars, both virtually and in-person, to guide IMGs about routes to practice medicine in Canada, specifically British Columbia. Seminar dates and venues are to be announced in the near future.
