Licence, examinations, language & visa

Institution-wide (U of T PGME): clinical fellows must be eligible for a CPSO certificate authorising postgraduate education (educational licence); the CPSO requires recognition as a specialist in the jurisdiction of prior practice. The licence is applied for only after acceptance by the University. Institution-wide: fellowship training does not lead to RCPSC certification and is not on its own a pathway to permanent specialist practice in Ontario. All fellows trained outside Canada complete a mandatory Pre-Entry Assessment Program (PEAP, 4–12 weeks), which is final and cannot be appealed. Department of Surgery (all fellowships): international fellows whose language of training was not English must show TOEFL iBT ≥93 (speaking ≥24) or IELTS ≥6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; strictly applied. Institution-wide: for sponsored trainees (agreements with Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE) applications go through the sponsoring agency to PGME, which provides documents for a Canadian work permit; visa trainees are administered via pgme.sponsorship@utoronto.ca.
