Education Credential Assessment for Physicians | Federal Skilled Worker Program

Here's the step-by-step process for Physicians seeking an Educational Credential Assessment:

1. Create an account with physiciansapply.ca.  For some reason, it seems to have problem with Google Chrome, so you may want to try using Firefox or other Internet browser. 

2. To create an account you will have to pay a non-refundable account fee amounting to $260.  You need a credit card to pay the fee.

3. Create a Source Verification Request (SVR) for each international medical credential you are required to have source verified.  There is a document fee amounting to $145 you need to pay online using a credit card.

4. Submit the following documents to MCC:

• Certified True Copy of your Valid Passport.  Make sure it follows the certification requirement: http://mcc.ca/wp-content/uploads/certification-requirements.pdf
• Certified Identity Confirmation (http://mcc.ca/wp-content/uploads/Certified-identity-confirmation-form.pdf)
• Copy of your medical credentials (http://mcc.ca/repository/medical-credentials/). Ff your medical credentials are in a language other than English or French, a translation will be required (http://mcc.ca/repository/translation-of-your-documents/)
• Cover Sheet for each medical credential (provided in your account)
