Sunasir, you an go to this site for IMGs or International Medical Graduates for the full info; http://www.mcc.ca/en/IMGs.shtml
Steps IMGs can take before arriving in Canada
You can start the licensure process from outside Canada by:
Confirming that your medical degree is from a recognized medical school.
Visit the International Medical Education Directory (IMED), part of the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research's (FAIMER) website. Your medical school, the name of the medical degree and the year of your graduation must be listed on the FAIMER International Medical Education Directory to be accepted in Canada.
Taking an online self-assessment exam.
Fees: C$60 per examination
Submitting your credentials with the Medical Council of Canada's (MCC) Physician Credentials Repository.
IMGs can use the MCC's Physician Credentials Repository to establish a confidential professional electronic portfolio of their credentials prior to arriving in Canada. IMGs can request that the Repository share their portfolio with provincial/territorial medical regulatory authorities, certifying and qualifying bodies. The MCC requires IMGs who are applying for the first time to the MCCEE to open an application with the Physician Credentials Repository and send a certified copy of their final medical diploma. The diploma must be successfully source verified through the Repository for the candidate to be eligible to the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE) Part II.
Fees: To open a Repository account, IMGs are charged a one-time account fee of C$250. C$100 is charged for each of the first four medical documents submitted for source verification. C$60 is charged for each subsequent document.
Taking the Medical Council of Canada Evaluating Examination (MCCEE).
IMGs must pass the MCCEE to apply for a residency position through the Canadian Resident Matching Service. The MCCEE is offered in 500 sites in more than 70 countries. For a list of countries where the MCCEE is offered, please see Prometric centres -- list of countries.
If IMGs have obtained Canadian or American board specialty certification, they may apply to the Medical Council of Canada for an exemption from the MCCEE.
Fees: First-time MCCEE candidates are charged C$1,500; C$1,300 is charged for IMGs who reapply for the MCCEE.
Hope this helps...
