First off, congratulations! We know it has been a long and hard journey, filled with many sacrifices along the way, but you did it!  If you feel unsure what to do next when it comes to registering for your licence, please refer to our Guide to Registration for Residents Completing Training, to help you navigate your way forward.

A couple of high points are summarized below:

  2. 2. If required, please arrange for a Certificate of Professional Conduct (CPC) to be emailed the CPSS as soon as possible;

  3. 3. All changes or delays to your program must be approved by the College of Medicine;

  4. 4. Please make sure to include and share all required information through Physiciansapply.ca (verified identity documents, examination results and medical degree).
