Why Study MBBS in Canada?
The Universities in Canada offer admission to very few students, so to study MBBS in Canada, you must have an excellent academic record and have the potential to excel in the field and redefine healthcare.
Best Medical Colleges for Indian Students: Canada has some of the best medical colleges for Indian students, and the country itself is known for its world-class education and shines in the medical domain. By choosing a medical program in Canada, Indian students can get the best medical education, training and exposure from the top medical institutes.
A huge number of Vacancies: When it comes to the medical field, there is a huge gap between demand and supply in Canada, giving rise to more and more job opportunities for the Indian students who graduate with MBBS.
Working Condition of Doctors: If you graduate with MBBS in Canada, you have to work for 35 to 40 hours a week, which is quite good. There are very few chances of you being unemployed, such high is the demand for doctors in Canada, and the unemployment rate of doctors is very low. This rate was 0.9% in 2018, which is quite low compared to the national average.
No need to appear for the MCI screening: As an Indian student, if you pursue your MBBS degree in Canada, you will not be required to appear for the MCI screening test to practice medicine in India.
Insufficiency of Doctors: As per a survey, Canada had only 2.8 doctors per 1000 people in 2018. There is a shortage of doctors, and students who graduated with MBBS have the golden opportunity to practice as a doctor comparatively easier.
Course Curriculum for MBBS in Canada:
To become a doctor in
Canada, you need to go through three stages of academia:
Bachelors: A student must have a 3 to 4-year bachelor's degree in a medical or non-medical field equivalent to Canadian colleges to apply for MD.
Doctor of Medicine (MD): Doctor of Medicine (MD)is a 3 to 4 year postgraduate degree where students study medicine in detail. It is divided into foundation and clerkship. The subjects covered in the first two years are known as foundation courses and are academic with some lab activities.

Residency: In Canada, Medical residency is a 3 to 5 years training program. After the program is completed, the students get the speciality certification from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Canada (RCPSC) or a family physician certificate from the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC).
