Important information about the CaRMs match: It is important to take note that as part of the analysis process, information is exchanged between the Bureau de la coopération interuniversitaire and the faculties of medicine for the recognition of your medical school diploma by the CMQ and your CaRMS matching results status. Due to the clauses in the CaRMS contract, should you obtain a position through the CaRMS match during the current year, your candidature will no longer be considered admissible for the MDCM program, and you will be receiving a refusal notice on our behalf.
