If a Canadian IMG completed post-graduate training in the US in internal medicine (later than 2016), and have obtained the US licenses and completed specialty examinations of the RCPSC and passed MCCEE and MCCQE part 1&2, in order to be able to do a fellowship in the US the applicant must have a "Standard Canadian Medical Licence" and is able to practice medicine as per this page

What are the requirements to be fully licensed? Is there an exemption to the one year post-graduate training in Canada or the mentor program? Having to be under supervision for a year is absurd if someone wants to apply for a fellowship in the US and is unable to do so because of the lack of a full license to practice.
thanks
