You must be a Canadian citizen / permanent resident to do a family med residency in Canada.

 

(Unless, of course, your government is sponsoring your seat, in which case you need to check with them to find out what's required.)

 

If you are a citizen / PR, the process is detailed here:

In brief,

 

1. Exams: MCCEE to start (and probably NAC-OSCE)

2. Scores count? Yes

3. How to apply - see links above

4. Chances - poor (in general, less than 20%)
