UK PMS graduate training in Canada

[Dr Noodle]

Hello 🙂

I'm starting medical school this year (as an undergraduate) at either RCSI in Ireland or Peninsula Medical School in the UK.

I have always considered at least working in Canada but I've heard that it's very hard for an international graduate to get on to a training programme there.

PMS is accredited by WHO but is only six years old. I'm wondering if this will make it even harder to get training in Canada or are you judged purely on exam results (college exams and/or the exam you have to take to get on a programme, sorry don't know what it's called) with the fact that the college is accredited by WHO being enough?

If you are looking for residency training in Canada, then you will have a MUCH easier time getting a placement if you go to RCSI.
