hi frenz...
i am glad to c the section of MCCEE in this usmle-oriented website...i am happy 2 c all mcc seekers who r tryin thier level best to get past canadian exams.
...with no intention to demoralise,i want to ask,if anystudent (img)past-mccee/qe1/qe2 secured RESIDENCY in Canada?
i have heard n seen infew websites regarding canadian law-infrastructure..as i got to know:its pretty unfriendly especialy for foreign medical graduates,even past gud MCC scores...like..they got very few amnt of residency seats extra-after deducting the no. of canadian undergraduate-MEDICINE seats...on the contrary..where in USA there are 8000 undergradute seats fo rmedicine and around 12000 Residency positions---giving way to 4000 international candidates each year!...
Can anybody,who has more infor throw some light on this topic
----Suggestions from doctors past-mccee n wrkin in Canada wud be most useful 2 all of us..before we setup DREAM-CANADA!!!
regards to all
best of luck

Guys how does the new results compared to the results from the previous years?
Meaning, Previously the 500 mark was the 50th percentile.. Does that mean who got 271 (which is the new 50th percentile) equals the one who got 500 previously?

Hi Nisha, Jase, cutedoc and everyone,
Hope you're still out there reading this forum...
Have been reading your comments with interest. I'm wondering if anyone knows about the existence of sample MCCQE1 questions (in particular CRS) at UofT Library.
Cute Doc mentioned he got hold of these, but I can't see these listed on the UofT library catalogue on line.
Anyone out there with any ideas? I'd be very very grateful for your info.
Thanks and good luck to everyone.

hi nima
i wonder y residency programs in canada confine quota for imgs in surgery and surgery subspecialities if they dont want to employe imgs in surgery?!!!!!!!
do u think they r having fun or wasting their time!!!!!!
dont listen to roomers!!!!!!
as concern urology no urology positions in canada for imgs but many general and orthopedic surgery for imgs r present across canada
i agree that positions in usa r much more
also if u love urology to death and needs nothing but urology it will be wiser to shift to usmle
by the way
there is only one way to obtain urology position in canada!!!!!!
it is just an idea that came to my mind
in some canadian universities they open residency positions to both cmg and imgs
but i have no idea had any one tried this route be4 or not?!

Hi Naveen,
The Questions I had were from this link but it is not working any more. http://meds.queensu.ca/~meds2005/
Ask some of the recent test takers to forward you the questions, may be they have saved it.

hi Shamim..sorry I've been quite busy with residency to be able to reply sooner..so it doesn't matter how old the questions are, but I practiced with exams from as far back as 1997..and still managed to see a lot of repeat questions. I also found all my USMLE step 2 notes and practice mcq's very helpful. Remember, even if you don't get to practice lots of questions, having a solid theoretical base from USMLE step2 Kaplan notes and Toronto Notes will be sufficient. I work with a lot of Canadian medical students now, and you'll be surprised to hear, they don't practice questions at all, they just go thru their Toronto Notes chapter by chapter with supplementation from their class notes. Good Luck!!
