What documents do Canadians need for Romanian medical school?

Requirements vary by university, but common items include high school diploma or equivalent, transcripts, passport, birth certificate, medical certificate, photos, language proof where required, certified translations, and authentication or apostille where required.

Do Canadian documents need apostille or authentication?

Often yes, depending on the document and university instructions. Canadian applicants should check whether authentication, apostille, legalization, and certified translation are needed before the deadline.

Can StudyROM check official documents?

StudyROM can help organize and review document readiness privately after payment, but official acceptance decisions belong to the university and Romanian authorities.

Application requirements for Canadians

Romania medical school requirements are manageable if you build the file in the right order.

Most application stress comes from small details: scan format, file names, translations, authentication/apostille, deadlines, and knowing what should be ready before the portal opens.
