No. They said their program has sent it [to the other programs]. This isn't super secret or anything, the procedure is literally posted at https://afmc.ca/en/priorities/resident-transfer-program. "The HOME PGME Office will forward the list of candidates for consideration to each RECEIVING PGME Office, by April 30. (Template to be provided and agreed upon by all schools)" Or, you know, that I've been in residency for four years, have investigated the transfer process, and have never heard of people receiving emails directly.

MedZZZ Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 I didn't know there is a letter. I contacted my PGME office and they just set an appointment with me to discuss it next week. I don't know if it would be too late to transfer by that point or if I should contact the program director of my program interest directly?
