Whatever your reasons for wanting to apply, you may already know that medical school admissions in Canada are somewhat different from those elsewhere. Or maybe you’ve heard about the country’s high standard of living, its natural beauty, its poutine-and it’s a place you want to call home. When compared to the average costs of medical school tuition in the U.S.-around $33,000 USD for in-state students at public universities and $56,000 USD for out-of-state students at public schools and those attending private schools-Canadian medical school is a relative bargain. Maybe you’re drawn to the low cost of attendance at Canadian medical schools, where annual tuition sits around $13,000 USD for Canadian students and $23,000 USD for international students.

Maybe you’re a non-Canadian attracted to the strong education system in Canada-seven Canadian medical schools are ranked in the top 100 in the world by Times Higher Education-giving graduates tremendous freedom to practice internationally. Maybe you’re a Canadian who desires to be educated at home and to serve your local community.

There are a number of reasons why you might want to attend medical school in Canada.
