maadaputtar Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hello, I am a Canadian citizen and am looking into caribbean schools for medicine. I don't have much interest in coming back to Canada for residency. I wanted to know if Canadians can get a residency match in U.S. AS SOON AS they are done with their 4 years of medical education. I have heard things like you will have to wait a year before you can apply for residency spots in the US. Is this true? If so, what is the reason? Also, how hard is it for a caribbean school graduate who is a non-US citizen to get a residency spot in US. Are graduates from caribbean schools in the same pool as graduates from US med schools? Also, as for loans, will the Canadian government give me a loan (OSAP) to study abroad (be it caribbean for the US)? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopeful Med Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 OSAP will only give you a small loan and not a grant if you study outside of Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
