Residencies Eligibility If Graduate From Usa

[xClashx]

So I was told that if I attend a medschool in USA that isn't older than 10 years, I will not be able to:

 

1) Qualify for a residency program in Canada

2) Be able to practice in Canada at any point in my career (even if I complete equivalent residency in the USA) as I won't qualify for licensure.

 

 

Is any of this true, or is it speculation? 

 

Any useful resources for this type of information?

Who told you that, some gunner in your organic chemistry class?

yeah that is complete nonsense

 

maybe they were told about residency - there are sometimes challenges converting US to Can residency programs as they may have different lengths or content. Still it is hardly an impossible barrier to overcome.

Thanks a lot for the help! That's relieving.
