none.

however - most will allow you to schedule ELECTIVE rotations (i.e. 4th year) in canada.

these are scheduled by you, with permission from your school.

you have to check with the individual programs/hospitals to find out what they offer in electives to IMGs. there are additional fees etc.

I have no idea as to how hard it is to get FP in canada as an IMG. I go to SGU - and it seems like all the canadians I know are doing residence in the states. There has been one match in FP a year or so ago - I don't know the details of that individual though.

I will (hopefully) be trying to schedule electives at western, possibly at U of T as well (my school will only allow 12 weeks though)

I keep hearing about these statements of need for canadians and i'm not exactly sure what you all mean by them. Are they required for all canadians who are seeking residencies in the states? OR are they only required if someone is seeking a residency in the states and hoping to immediately return home to canada?
thank you kindly,
