The MCC maintains a website, physiciansapply.ca, as a centralized electronic repository of a physician’s core medical credentials and offers a national standardized approach to source verification of credentials. Source verification is the process by which the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) sends your credential to the issuing institution (the source) and requests that they confirm that they issued the credential and that it is authentic, accurate, and valid (verification).
The College requires physicians who have completed medical education outside of Canada, and are seeking registration and licensure in BC, to submit copies of certain credentials to physiciansapply.ca for source verification. An applicant’s Medical Degree and Passport must be verified as “Passed” before licensure can be approved by the College.
The College utilizes the AMRC; a centralized online portal through physiciansapply.ca for submitting applications for registration.
Candidates who may qualify for full registration and licensure may submit an application to the College via the AMRC portal.
PLEASE NOTE: Applicants are encouraged to first register with Health Match BC for an initial review of their application before submitting an AMRC application.
