The match for entry level (R-1) postgraduate positions in all 17 Canadian medical schools will be offered in two iterations. The first iteration will include all graduating students and prior-year graduates from Canada and the US who meet the basic eligibility criteria of CaRMS.
The First Iteration of the Match will also be open for International Medical Graduates who meet the above-mentioned basic eligibility criteria.

To be eligible in the first iteration of the CaRMS Match, you must have no prior postgraduate training in Canada or the United States.
The second iteration is offered for positions and applicants that were not matched in the first and also includes applicants who have had previous North American postgraduate training who wish to apply for an R-1 position in Canada.
All applicants who plan on participating in this or future Matches should read the AFMC motion as well as provincial criteria and specific program descriptions when applying since eligibility for a postgraduate training program is ultimately determined by each Canadian medical school.
