International Medical Graduates (IMG's)
International Medical Graduates who are citizens of countries outside North America and wish to enter residency training must be funded through a government agency or charitable organization (see Definitions of Postgraduate Trainees). Private or personal funds are not permissible. To be eligible for consideration, candidates must have satisfactorily passed the Medical Council of Canada Evaluating Examination (MCCEE), as well as the TSE and TOEFL (if applicable), and meet all the entry requirements of the Department to which they are applying.
A Pre-Entry Assessment Program (PEAP) of 4 to 12 weeks may be required for certain candidates.
Centre for the Evaluation of Health Professionals Educated Abroad(CEHPEA)
The Centre for the Evaluation of Health Professionals Educated Abroad (CEHPEA) is a not-for-profit organization that is part of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care's overall strategy to expand and enhance services provided in Ontario for Internationally Educated Health Professionals.
CEHPEA is the only organization in Ontario that provides assessment, evaluation and training programs for Internationally Educated Health Professionals (IEHPs), with an examination and education centre in downtown Toronto.
CEHPEA also offer educational programs such as:
- The Pre-Residency Program for candidates who have been successfully matched to a Family Medicine Residency Training Program in Ontario
- The Orientation to Training and Practice in Canada (OTPC) for candidates who have received acceptance for direct entry to Specialty Residency Training, and
- Integration programs for Physician Assistants.
CEHPEA will initially provide assessments for International Medical Graduates (IMG’s) for direct entry training in Family Medicine or many of the direct entry specialties. They also offer written and clinical assessments for candidates applying for PGY2 or Practice Ready Assessment (PRA) training. They also continue to offer the Pre-Residency Program for Family Medicine for candidates who have successfully matched to a Family Medicine residency training program in the province of Ontario. CEHPEA does not provide counseling to IMGs - they are referred to the Access Centre for Health Force Ontario.
