Bilingualism for Ottawa's FM program or electives?

Does anyone know if there is an expectation to be bilingual for doing a FM elective at Ottawa, or before applying for their family residency?

 

I did an elective there in a different discipline, and French certainly isn't required as most of your patients will know how to speak English. Knowing French will be a bonus to your patients, but maybe not so much to your CaRMS application.

Not a requirement but a huge plus.

i have rotated in Ottawa back in Med school and a significant number of patients were French speaking. Of course, most are bilingual but they prefer to speak their mother tongue while seeing the doctor.
