Visiting Electives at Canadian Schools


The following is a list of Canadian Medical Schools accepting students from medical schools outside of Canada (IMG) for visiting electives with links to the applications.

If the school is not listed below, it is likely that they do not offer visiting electives to students outside of Canada.   

Note: I have only listed those programs whose primary language of instruction is English.   There are many great programs in Quebec not listed below, taught in French. Please search for their website online if interested in pursuing an elective.

Please keep in mind that you should apply early as some have quotas and fill up their available spots quickly.  Most programs state they only offer electives to visiting students in their final year (i.e. 4th year) of medical school, but you should submit the application during your 3rd year.
