heydere Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hey! Does anyone know how strict McGill residency programs are about taking non-Quebec applicants without French speaking abilities but willingness to learn? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edict Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 They really emphasize their willingness to take non-French speaking residents on the interview trail. It certainly has been done before, additionally, many of the Saudi residents do not speak French and do fine in most residencies. However, I believe family medicine is one of the programs that does either want or prefer French speaking abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellorie Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Yeah I think it’s very program dependent. When I went through, their psychiatry program was recruiting me very heavily and telling me it was no big deal that I don’t speak two words of French. But I hear from more recent applicants that it’s different now and that they are no longer as interested in people who don’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was insanely difficult for IMGs to get into residency in Canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are funded directly by the Saudi government and not by us, and are associated with their own ROS. It’s it’s own non-CaRMS thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
