Is there a licensing or loan process required to get a medical license to work as a doctor in Canada or Germany?
Yes, both Canada and Germany require a licensing process for foreign-trained doctors to practice medicine. Loans are not part of the licensing process, but you may need personal funding for fees and related costs.
- Canada: You must have your medical credentials assessed, pass the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examinations (MCCQE Part I and II), and register with the provincial medical authority. Each province has its own requirements.
- Germany: You need to get your medical degree recognized, prove German language proficiency (typically C1 level), and may need to pass a medical knowledge exam, depending on the state. You then apply for a medical license (Approbation).
All fees and requirements are subject to change.
What will studying in Canada actually cost you?
