- CMQ training-card eligibility and a Letter of Eligibility are required. Following a PGME offer, credentials are source-verified through physiciansapply.ca before CMQ issues eligibility.
- Language requirements
- Teaching is in English. The PGME language-acquisition policy requires fellows with no or limited spoken French (A0–A2) to undergo baseline assessment and attend French classes. This policy does not impose a universal French admission-test threshold; designated programmes may set additional requirements.
- Visa information
- For appointees without Canadian citizenship or permanent residency, PGME initiates the LMIA-exempt work-permit process after CMQ eligibility and provides the required identifying number; wait for PGME instructions before applying. A temporary resident visa may also be needed.
