Recognition clarity
Accepted pathway does not mean automatic license.
For Canada, the key check is whether the medical school is acceptable to the Medical Council of Canada and has the Canada Sponsor Note in the World Directory for your graduation years. After graduation, international medical graduates still need credential verification, exams, residency/application steps, and provincial requirements.
Step 1Check World Directory + Canada Sponsor Note
Step 2Graduate with an acceptable medical degree
Step 3Use physiciansapply.ca/MCC credential verification
Step 4Prepare for MCC exams, CaRMS/residency, and provincial rules
Cost reality
Use the numbers before choosing the city.
UMF Craiova's official 2026/2027 page lists Medicine in English at 8,500 euro per year and Dental Medicine in English at 6,500 euro per year. For Canadian citizens, Canadian medical/dental tuition is usually domestic, not international, so the better comparison is the full path: undergrad first, competitive admission, then professional tuition plus Canadian living costs. For example, U of T MD lists 2025/2026 year-one domestic tuition at $23,090-$27,510 CAD, and U of T DDS lists a 2025 domestic annual total of $51,200 CAD.
