Main Residency Match (R-1)
Application Process - Overview
Online Application
Current year Canadian graduates from all Universities that participate
in CaRMS are automatically registered by their Undergraduate office.
All other applicants must
complete a Request
for Registration (see Timetable).
Once you have been registered by your university or your Request for
Registration has been reviewed and verified, eligible applicants will
be sent a token by e-mail. The tokens are generally sent in bulk; please
make sure that your e-mail account can accept these types of e-mails.
You will use the token sent to you by e-mail to access the Applicant
Webstation (AWS). This is where the application process takes place.
You should begin working on your application as soon as possible to avoid the last minute rush as the milestone for completion approaches. Once
the application has been submitted you cannot make modifications to
it. You must use the update notes section to inform programs of changes.
NOTE: make sure your application is completed carefully and thoroughly before you submit it. Requesting CaRMS to un-submit your application will cost you a $140.75 un-submission fee and may take up to three (3) business days.
You may complete a bilingual application in CaRMS. If you want to use that option, you need to email CaRMS to make this specific request at bilingualrequest@carms.ca ./Please include your name, CaRMS code (if known) and school of graduation in the email. Note that once your application is submitted, this bilingual feature is no longer available to you.
Supporting documents are the documents you assign to the programs to
which you have applied to support your application.
You may send documents such letters of reference, personal letters, abstracts
or resumés. Details as to which
documents programs would like to receive can be found in the program
descriptions in the program
directory.
You can work on creating your extra documents, list of references and
personal letters at the same time as you complete the information sections
of your application. All documents other than your personal letter must
be sent to CaRMS with the appropriate cover sheet for processing. For
details please see supporting
documents.
If you are participating in the first iteration, as you are completing the rest of your application you can begin selecting programs to which you wish to apply. However, you cannot submit these selections until you have submitted your application.
The second iteration programs can be selected once the results of the first iteration have been announced. You cannot submit your program selections until you have submitted your application.
You must have submitted your program choices before you can begin assigning documents to those programs. All document assignments do not have to be done at the same time. It is a process that takes a long time to complete, so do not leave it until the last minute.
When you are assigning documents, please make sure to select the
documents, save, and then submit. If you change any of your
selections, you must save before submitting. For more detail instructions
please refer to the AWS Help Manual.
Applicants are responsible for scheduling
interviews directly with the programs, not through CaRMS. You will
generally receive an invitation for an interview by e-mail so please check
to make sure that these e-mail have not been sent to “junk mail
or trash”.
Applicants will access the ranking system through the Applicant Webstation
(AWS). Access will only be granted during the time period listed on the
timetable.
You must only rank programs to which you have applied; however there is no obligation
to rank any program to which you have applied.
For further
details on ranking please see the ranking section.
You will access your match results from the CaRMS website. You will require
your CaRMS code and the password you used to access the Applicant Webstation
(AWS).
