Canadian residency is accessible for Caribbean MDs who meet three core requirements: graduation from an accredited medical school, passing required Canadian exams, and holding Canadian citizenship or permanent residency (with some provincial variations).

The MCCQE, or Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination, is an important exam for Caribbean-trained medical students and graduates planning to pursue medical licensure or residency in Canada. Applicants should create a physiciansapply.ca account no later than 15 months before graduation so they have time to submit documents, apply for the exam, and prepare for scheduling during the eligibility window.

Caribbean medical students should create a physiciansapply.ca account early, ideally near the end of the second year, to begin planning for Canadian licensure requirements.
