🙂 I think this thread should be a sticky too.
It's for Canadian citizens studying in US medical schools.

1.What's the timeline for getting a US residency?
a.the J1 visa route
b.the H1-b route

2.What's the timeline for getting a Canadian residency?

Does anyone want to share an optimal timing like when to take USMLE step 1,2,3 and MCCQE 1 2? Since you can't take USMLE step3 until you graduate from med school. I guess that's a problem.
