pass the MCC QE I and II by end of PGY3
request extension of statement of need to change to fellowship
write RCPSC exam in spring of PGY5 (i.e, in final year in US
write American board exam after residency is finished
apply for licence in Canada / seek job in Canada
It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.

So then, for a person matched for internal medicine, will it be an acceptable action plan to mention the fellowship in USA (since internal is 3 years is USA).
so
3 years Internal medicine residency
2 or 3 years fellowship
(MCC QE2 not required for me resident in ontario, QE1 already passed)
request extension of statement of need in PGY3
RCPSC assessment in internal medicine, i.e., by april 30 of PGY3
write RCPSC exam in spring of PGY4
hmmm.. but then what about fellowship sub-specialty license... for that need to apply for RCPSC assessment again and take board exams etc!!
im confused... I wanna do fellowship so that i dont have to do one year extra when i come back to ontario.
