Hi Annaya,

There can be 2 meanings to your question.

  1.  Career in medicine after grade 12th
  2. Career in medicine if you are a qualified doctor from India.

The answer to the second question, I am sure you are aware too, is that, in abroad, they do not recognise medical qualification from India. So you would have to apply for an exam and get yourself licenced.

As far as after 12th is concerned, you would have to apply for MCAT exam and then appear for the interview and once you clear, make the necessary arrangements. As far as the google search reveals, most of the medical schools in Canada prefer in-house students  and very few give chances to students away from their provinces. So before applying, you would have to check the institutes website and then only apply.

Best would be to consult an education abroad consultant, who would be at a better position to guide you through the different institutes, procedures to apply etc.

Hope this helps.

Wish you good luck...

Dear Aspirant,

Is there any specific reason why you wish to do Medicine from Canada?

I suggest you should do Medicine from India and then you can do Masters or other advanced/PG courses from Canada. Remember that if you do medicine from Canada, and wish to come back and practice as a doctor in India, you will have to appear for the certification test from Medical Council of India in order to get a license.

Best wishes
