There are spots designated for IMGs at many schools. If the information isn't up at CaRMS.ca yet, it will be soon. 2 - There is no longer a formal internship year in the Canadian system, but your PGY-1 year is roughly equivalent to an internship. 3 - Toronto Notes.

Depends on the province. Some have a separate stream for IMGs, while in other provinces IMGs compete for the same spots as Canadian grads.
