Not sure what you mean.... this question is fairly specific and I think is better served by you picking up phone & calling program coordinators at both these programs (after you check/verify said information is not on their surgery or GME websites ). That would be the best way to obtain credible information.

Then that is definately information you should obtain directly from those two programs. Their GME office and/or program coordinator will be able to provide accurate information on their policies & protocols with regards to immigration/visas/clinical experience/etc... Using word of mouth from a forum on issues of that importance is frought with problems...

Best of luck,

As I mentioned, these are really things you need to do your homework and just check directly with these programs.
