I just started a CV Anesthesia fellowship in Canada after having just finished residency. I was wondering with regards to the advanced PTE exam, do we have to do the basic exam first? If so, it seems like the next basic exam isn't until next July so I would have to wait another year before doing the advanced one?

No. You can just take the advanced exam. That's what most people do which is why the basic exam is not offered very frequently.
