INTRODUCTION
All statistical data provided come from an annual survey conducted by the Office of Research and
Information Services (ORIS). Individual faculty information is provided by each faculty of medicine as of
July, 2013 and, therefore, is subject to change.
This document provides information that covers several academic years. When comparing data from
year-to-year it is should be understood that there is some yearly variability in the context affecting the
data. Examples of such context variability include changes to the number of available places, admission
requirements, and selection policies for some of the faculties of medicine.
General Information
There are seventeen faculties of medicine in Canada that offer programs of study leading to the award of
the MD degree which is the first professional degree in medicine. The faculties of medicine are listed in a
geographic sequence going from east to west which implies no rank ordering whatsoever.
The number of places available is determined by provincial governments based on educational and
financial resources as well as Canada’s future physician workforce requirement. Since the universities are
under provincial jurisdiction, the majority of places in a faculty of medicine are allocated to permanent
residents of the province in which the university is located.
An applicant must decide to which faculty or faculties of medicine application will be made. Obviously, the
geographic location of a faculty of medicine is of critical importance to a prospective applicant. For those
applicants who are free to move to any location where a place may be offered, chances of success in
gaining admission may be considerably enhanced. Those who apply to only one faculty of medicine have
the smallest chance of being offered admission. As the number of applications increases, so does the
chance of being offered a place at a faculty of medicine.
The competition to enter a faculty of medicine is very keen so it is important that applicants ensure that
they fully meet the entry requirements of each faculty of medicine to which they apply. The applicant’s
type of pre-medical undergraduate degree and institution of study should not deter filing an application,
provided that all academic prerequisites are met. Not only should applicants plan to meet all academic
prerequisites, it is also important to respect all deadline dates. In general, an application or
documentation is ignored when received after deadline dates.
Those who wish to maximize their chances of gaining admission to a Canadian faculty of medicine should
consider the following:

Since residence is considered in admissions, include the faculty of medicine located in your home
province amongst those to which applications are submitted.

If you are resident in a province with more than one faculty of medicine (Québec, Ontario or Alberta),
try to apply to more than one faculty of medicine in the province. Remember that some faculties of
medicine have far more places to allocate than others.

Some applicants are definite about a particular faculty of medicine and make only one application. In
a situation of keen competition, the determination to enter a particular faculty of medicine may be
tantamount to excluding oneself from the study of medicine altogether.
2
Ontario Medical School Application Service (OMSAS)
The six Ontario faculties of medicine use OMSAS which is a centralized application processing service,
thus applicants submit only one set of application materials and academic documents regardless of the
number of faculties to which they are applying. Each faculty of medicine independently makes the
selection decision.
The OMSAS web-site provides an on-line application service mid-July, 2013 as well as additional
information related to each faculty’s admission requirements. The web-site is a comprehensive one where
applicants can obtain information on the application process and can view details concerning their
application. The OMSAS levy is composed of a base fee and an additional fee for each Ontario faculty of
medicine to which application is made.
The application service fee is $210 plus an institutional fee for each faculty applied to. The institutional
fees will later be forwarded to the relevant faculties.

Medical College Admission Test (MCAT)
The MCAT is a standardized, multiple-choice examination designed to assess problem solving, critical
thinking and writing skills in addition to the examinee’s knowledge of science concepts and principles
prerequisite to the study of medicine. The test is not required by all faculties of medicine and the extent to
which test results are used in admission decisions varies by faculty of medicine.
The test consists of four test sections: the Verbal Reasoning, Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences
sections contain multiple-choice questions and the scores range from a low of 1 to a high of 15 for each
section; the Writing Sample section consists of two essays and the total score ranges from a low of J to a
high of T.
The computer-based test is given at established test centres in Canada, the United States and overseas.
Visit the web-site for dates and locations. The overall length of the test day is approximately four and onehalf hours. The regular examination fee was $270 in US funds for the 2013 test dates.

Repeat Applicants
An applicant who does not receive an offer of admission must decide whether to re-apply for admission in
a subsequent year. Rejected candidates should try to reach an objective assessment of why they did not
receive an offer. Unsuccessful applicants should realize that the reason for rejection may not be the lack
of ability or qualities but the sheer rationing of places that is necessary when the number of qualified
candidates greatly exceeds the number of available places. Well qualified candidates have grounds for
re-applying for admission to a faculty of medicine and in recent years, repeat applicants have fared
relatively well.
Applying to Study Medicine outside Canada
If for any reason an applicant decides to seek admission to a medical faculty outside Canada, some
important factors must be borne in mind. The most important of these is that returning to practise
medicine in Canada may prove difficult. This is not meant to deter individuals from seeking educati n in
ei n uni e sities some Canadian citizens have always gone abroad to study in recognized, reputable
universities. Limitations on recognition of foreign earned MDs apply to qualifications earned abroad by
citizens as well as by non-citizens of Canada. Strong motivation, determination and adequate academic
preparation are in themselves no guarantee that a Canadian citizen who attends a foreign medical faculty
will be able to train or practise medicine in Canada in the future.
4
Foreign Applicants
Not all faculties of medicine accept applications from foreign students. Conversely, some faculties of
medicine have contracts with foreign governments or institutions to accept applications for
“supernumerary” positions. The conditions of admission may require that the faculty of medicine will be
compensated for the entire cost of medical education, the student will not apply for post-MD (residency)
training in Canada and these graduates will return to their countries of origin to practise medicine.
Information about contract positions is available from the foreign educational institutions or governments
that have negotiated such contracts.
Foreign students planning to study medicine in Canada are personally responsible for obtaining the
necessary student authorization and student visa to enter Canada for the purpose of study. All matters
related to entering Canada must be taken up at the Canadian embassy, High Commission or consulate
nearest to the foreign applicant.

Academic Criteria: Saskatchewan Residents:
There are two main academic requirements that must be met in order to apply as a
Saskatchewan resident:
1. MCAT OR prerequisites
2. Two full year average
The MCAT is required except for students who have completed the prerequisites
within Saskatchewan as described in the next paragraph. The test must have been
taken within the last five years and scores have to be available at the time of
application. The minimum acceptable score is 26 - accumulated scores in biological
sciences, physical sciences and verbal reasoning sections of 26 with no section
below 8. The maximum number of times an applicant may take the MCAT is five
times (additional sittings will not be accepted unless approved in writing by the
Admissions Office, College of Medicine).
Prerequisite courses are mandatory for students who wish to apply under the
"prerequisite" requirement whereby all courses are taken at the University of
Saskatchewan or University of Regina within five years of applying with a minimum
overall average of 78% and minimum individual course grade of 60%. The
prerequisites are identified at www.medicine.usask.ca/admissions and include two
terms in each of biochemistry, biology, chemistry (general and organic), physics,
social science/humanities and English. Students attending institutions outside
Saskatchewan are strongly recommended to complete equivalent prerequisites,
particularly two terms of biochemistry, to ensure readiness for the basic sciences
covered in the first two years of the undergraduate medical curriculum.
Two years full-time university/college is required.
The minimum acceptable grade point average is 78% for residents of
Saskatchewan. The mean grade point average of successful applicants in the
Saskatchewan pool 2012/13 was 89.85%.
45
Out-of-Province Residents:
There are two main academic requirements that must be met in order to apply as an
out-of-province resident:
1. MCAT
2. Degree requirement
All Out-of-Province applicants must complete the Medical College Admission Test
(MCAT) prior to application. Scores on Verbal Reasoning, Physical Sciences and
Biological Sciences sections must total a minimum of 30 (no section scores less
than 8). Scores must be obtained in one sitting prior to the application deadline and
current within the last 5 years (earliest accepted scores for 2014 entry are 2009).
The maximum number of times an applicant may take the MCAT is five.
Application by out-of-province applicants can be made only during or after the final
year of a four year degree. If a four year degree is completed prior to application,
course-work for the degree must have been started within the 48 months prior to
completion of the degree. If applicants are in the final year of a four year degree, a
minimum of 90 credit units must have been completed in the 36 months prior to the
end of August immediately before application. All courses completed at the date of
application will be used for calculation of the grade-point-average (GPA). The
minimum GPA required for application will be 83.0%. The four year degree must be
completed by the time study of medicine starts. All remaining courses completed for
the degree after the date of application must minimally average 83.0%. Graduate
program grades will not be considered.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Special Consideration: Students of Aboriginal ancestry may make application through the Aboriginal
Equity Access Program whereby all requirements are the same as the regular
Saskatchewan resident pool but students compete within this category, not
against the entire applicant pool.
N te: Ab i inal applicants ha e the pti n applyin unde the "p e equisite”
