@torktt Sorry, my french is not 100% perfect as well, i don't want to teach you wrong things about french lol.

Competition in Quebec is as intense as any other parts of Canada.

If you really want to study Medicine but can't enter in Canada, you can aim for U.S. Universities, some schools are very easy to get in, if you fail to enter Medical School, you can enter the D.O. program and still be able to join residency and eventually become a Doctor in Canada after you get boards certified.

@WarrenAch

oky, merci bcoup! ...mais pouvez-vous me corriger mes fautes dans le commentaire précèdent?

Aussi, est-ce qu.il vrai qu'il y a moins de compétition pour être un médecine au Québec que ailleurs au canada?........bon chance à vous...a+!

@torktt Since you're not a Quebec candidate, you'll have to hold an Undergraduate degree from an accredited Canadian University with a very good GPA.

MCAT score is not needed but if you have a good one, consider it a plus.

From what i can see, your French needs a bit of work, you may have to pass a French test depending on the situation and respect certain criterias to be eligible for admission.

Contact the University you want to apply to for further informations, hope it helps,subscribe!

Slt gar!

ques ke je doit faire pour être un médecine au Québec? À ce moment j'habite dans l'ontario et aller au l'université d'ottawa pour faire des cours en immersion française.

Yeah,this system is only in quebec,and we still get the best scores in the Canadian medical association examinations.

Anyways,so much bad things here in Quebec,over-taxes,too much problems,the government screws his doctors,no wonder why almost 45% of specialists in Quebec left for Other provinces or the U.S...

If it doesn't get any better when i finish,i'll have to leave too,i don't wanna be in misery while working..if you know what i mean..

Anyways,thanks for the wishes,good luck to you too!

Dude. Best of luck. I mean I have to give it to you Canadians, you guys become Doctors at a pretty young age but only downfall is you guys have the whole single-payer health care system or socialized medicine.
