Our government intends to introduce legislation that will protect Ontario’s health-care workforce by prioritizing international medical graduates (IMGs) from Ontario for postgraduate medical residency positions in the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS). This change will make it easier for Ontario students who studied medicine abroad to return home, complete their training and have a career as a doctor in Ontario. As medical students with closer ties to the province are more likely to stay and practise in Ontario after their residency, prioritizing positions for Ontario IMGs will help thousands more doctors train, work and remain in the province for the duration of their careers.
The government would begin working with medical schools and CaRMS to implement the proposed changes in summer 2026, ahead of the September 2026 application cycle for the 2027 CaRMS match.
