What is the exact route to pursue masters and residency in Canada after MBBS from India for a Master's?

To pursue a master's and medical residency in Canada after MBBS from India, you’ll need to follow a structured process:

- Credential Verification: Register with physiciansapply.ca to verify your medical degree - this is mandatory for international medical graduates.
- Exams: Pass the MCCQE Part 1 (Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Exam) and the NAC (National Assessment Collaboration) exam, which assess your medical knowledge and readiness for Canadian practice.
- Residency Application: Apply for residency through the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS). Each province may have additional requirements - check with the relevant College of Physicians and Surgeons.
- Master’s Application: For a master’s in a medical field, apply directly to Canadian universities and meet their specific admission criteria.
- Immigration: With at least one year of Canadian work experience as a medical doctor, you may qualify for Express Entry or certain Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) for permanent residency. Immigration rules are subject to change.
