INTRODUCTION

All statistical data provided come from an annual survey conducted by the Office of Research and Information

Services (ORIS). Individual faculty information is provided by each faculty of medicine as of July, 2011 and

therefore is subject to change.

W hen comparing data from year to year there are certain considerations to keep in mind. There have been

increases to the number of available places for the study of medicine at many faculties of medicine. Also,

admission requirements and selection policies of individual faculties of medicine may vary from year to year.

General Information

There are seventeen faculties of medicine in Canada that offer programs of study leading to the award of the

MD degree which is the first professional degree in medicine. The faculties of medicine are listed in a

geographic sequence going from east to west which implies no rank ordering whatsoever.

The number of places available is determined by provincial governments based on educational and financial

resources as well as Canada’s future physician workforce requirement. Since the universities are under

provincial jurisdiction, the majority of places in a faculty of medicine are allocated to permanent residents of

the province in which the university is located.

Provided academic prerequisites have been met, the type of undergraduate degree earned or program

followed should not deter filing an application. Also, whether or not the previous institution attended has a

faculty of medicine does not affect the chance of admission.

An applicant must decide to which faculty or faculties of medicine application will be made. Obviously, the

geographic location of a faculty of medicine is of critical importance to a prospective applicant. For those

applicants who are free to move to any location where a place may be offered, chances of success in gaining

admission may be considerably enhanced. Those who apply to only one faculty of medicine have the smallest

chance of being offered admission. As the number of applications increases, so does the chance of being

offered a place at a faculty of medicine.

The competition to enter a faculty of medicine is very keen so it is important that applicants ensure that they

fully meet the entry requirements of each faculty of medicine to which they apply. Not only should applicants

plan to meet all academic prerequisites, it is also important to respect all deadline dates. In general, an

application or documentation is ignored when received after deadline dates.

Those who wish to maximize their chances of gaining admission to a Canadian faculty of medicine should

consider the following:

! Since residence is considered in admissions, include the faculty of medicine located in your home

province amongst those to which applications are submitted.

! If you are resident in a province with more than one faculty of medicine (Québec, Ontario or Alberta),

try to apply to more than one faculty of medicine in the province. Remember that some faculties of

medicine have far more places to allocate than others.

! Some applicants are definite about a particular faculty of medicine and make only one application.

In a situation of keen competition, the determination to enter a particular faculty of medicine may be

tantamount to excluding oneself from the study of medicine altogether.

Ontario Medical School Application Service (OMSAS)

Service ontarien de demande d’admission en médecine

The six Ontario faculties of medicine use OMSAS which is a centralized application processing service, thus

applicants submit only one set of application materials and academic documents regardless of the number

of faculties to which they are applying. Each faculty of medicine independently makes the selection decision.

The OMSAS web-site provides an on-line application service mid-July, 2011 as well as additional information

related to each faculty’s admission requirements. The web-site is a comprehensive one where applicants can

obtain information on the application process and can view details concerning their application. The OMSAS

levy is composed of a base fee and an additional fee for each Ontario faculty of medicine to which application

is made.

The application service fee is $210 plus an institutional fee for each faculty applied to. The institutional fees

will later be forwarded to the relevant faculties.

Institutional Fees In Canadian Funds

Ottawa $ 75

Queen’s $ 75

Toronto $ 85

McMaster $105

W estern Ontario $ 75

Northern Ontario $ 75

Deadlines:

Medical College Admission Test (MCAT)

The MCAT is a standardized, multiple-choice examination designed to assess problem solving, critical thinking

and writing skills in addition to the examinee’s knowledge of science concepts and principles prerequisite to

the study of medicine. The test is not required by all faculties of medicine and the extent to which test results

are used in admission decisions varies by faculty of medicine.

The test consists of four test sections: the Verbal Reasoning, Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences

sections contain multiple-choice questions and the scores range from a low of 1 to a high of 15 for each

section; the W riting Sample section consists of two essays and the total score ranges from a low of J to a high

of T.

The computer-based test is given at established test centres in Canada, the United States and overseas. Visit

the web-site for dates and locations. The overall length of the test day is approximately four and one-half

hours. The regular examination fee was $235 in US funds for the 2011 test dates.

Repeat Applicants

An applicant who does not receive an offer of admission must decide whether to re-apply for admission in a

subsequent year. Rejected candidates should try to reach an objective assessment of why they did not receive

an offer. Unsuccessful applicants should realize that the reason for rejection may not be the lack of ability or

qualities but the sheer rationing of places that is necessary when the number of qualified candidates greatly

exceeds the number of available places. W ell qualified candidates have grounds for re-applying for admission

to a faculty of medicine and in recent years, repeat applicants have fared well. The academically weaker

candidates tend not to re-apply for admission to the same extent as do those who have a sound academic

background.

Applying to Study Medicine Outside Canada

If for any reason an applicant decides to seek admission to a medical faculty outside Canada, some important

factors must be borne in mind. The most important of these is that returning to practise medicine in Canada

may prove difficult. This is not meant to deter individuals from seeking education in foreign universities —

some Canadian citizens have always gone abroad to study in recognized, reputable universities. Limitations

on recognition of foreign earned MDs apply to qualifications earned abroad by citizens as well as by

non-citizens of Canada. Strong motivation, determination and adequate academic preparation are in

themselves no guarantee that a Canadian citizen who attends a foreign medical faculty will be able to train

or practise medicine in Canada in the future.

Foreign Applicants

Not all faculties of medicine accept applications from foreign students. Conversely, some faculties of medicine

have contracts with foreign governments or institutions to accept applications for “supernumerary” positions.

It is understood that the faculty of medicine will be compensated for the entire cost of medical education, the

student will not apply for post-MD (residency) training in Canada and these graduates will return to their

countries of origin to practise medicine. Information about contract positions is available from the foreign

educational institutions or governments that have negotiated such contracts.

Foreign students planning to study medicine in Canada are personally responsible for obtaining the necessary

student authorization and student visa to enter Canada for the purpose of study. All matters related to entering

Canada must be taken up at the Canadian embassy, High Commission or consulate nearest to the foreign

applicant.
