Prospective international medical students planning to enroll in a medical university in Canada should remember that not all medical schools accept applications from international students. If the university accepts foreign students to medical school, then only those who have a strong academic qualification, a high level of knowledge of the English language, have a good portfolio (recommendations, awards, scientific articles, participation in olympiads, etc.) But even this cannot guarantee admission, as quotas for admission of international students are limited and the institution is primarily considering Canadians.
In order for a foreign student to be admitted to medical school, he must already have a bachelor's degree obtained in Canada . The specialty of the diploma, as a rule, should be in the medical sciences (Pharmacy, Health Sciences, Biological Sciences, etc.). The cost of such programs starts from 21,000 CAD $ per year. Duration 4 years.
The cost of training in medical schools depends on the university and specialization. For example, at the Seneca College School of Medicine, the Nursing program costs $ 21,438 per year, but the tuition at the University of Toronto Medical School (for international students) will be $ 60,000-80,000 CAD per year.
