Unlike India, MBBS in Canada is known as MD, i.e. Doctor of Medicine, and is done after 4 years of bachelor’s degree. It offers plenty of job opportunities for the medical students along with a good salary package and a lavish lifestyle.

The duration of the MBBS course is generally for 3 to 5 years, depending on the university and candidate’s educational background. The first year is a preparatory year for students who aren’t from a science background, and that’s where the degree lasts for 5 years. On the contrary, students with a bachelor‘s degree in science are eligible for a 4-year program.

If students want to pursue MBSS in Canada, there’s a systematic process involved.

1. Students must have a bachelor’s degree in science to apply for Canadian universities.

2. Students need to qualify for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) which is the basic entrance exam that can help you feature in top medical colleges. Universities like Northern Ontario School of Medicine and the University of Ottawa don’t need any candidate to qualify in MCAT.

3. Candidates must qualify the minimum admission criteria set by a particular university.

4. Students willing to pursue their career in MBBS must qualify either IELTS or TOEFL to validate their proficiency in the English language.

5. Students must qualify all the respective examinations and provide the relevant and authentic documents to get admission.
