The College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC requires that medical degrees be verified through physiciansapply.ca. This process can take a significant amount of time, especially for IMGs. IMGs should submit their medical diploma ASAP via physiciansapply.ca for source verification. Canadian medical schools will submit medical diplomas for CMGs automatically, but they should log in to physiciansapply.ca in May or June to confirm verification has been completed.
If you’d like a resident perspective on this process see the Resident Insider.
