i was wondering, can I do all my rotations in canada, coming from a caribbean school? Would I be able to apply for residency in canada and the u.s. if I do this?

i know of ppl who have done all there rotation in canada. but i am not sure if this is a positive ting for USA. Just to be on the safe side, do your 48 weeks of core in Green Book hospitals in Staes, and the rest like 12 weeks in canada, and 12 weeks some where in states that you might want to do residency in.

There is a restriction on the number of weeks of clinical electives an IMG can do in Canada. I believe it's 12 weeks per calendar year. Some schools/hospitals enfore it more than others.
