For First Nations or Inuit Applicants

First Nations and Inuit of Quebec Faculties of Medicine Program (PFMPNIQ)

The First Nations and Inuit of Quebec Faculties of Medicine Program (PFMPNIQ) was established in 2008. Under this program, four positions for medical training in any of the four Quebec faculties of medicine are available for eligible applicants. Eligibility requirements:

(a) The applicant must be a member of the First Nations or Inuit, under the Indian Act (RSC, C1-5) or in the Inuit registry.

(b) The applicant must be a resident of Quebec.

(c) The applicant must have a minimum R Score of 28 or equivalent university CGPA.

The four PFMPNIQ spots are available for all of Quebec's faculties of medicine (Université Laval, Université de Montréal, McGill University and Université de Sherbrooke). The choice of university is based on the candidate's preference and the available spots in the faculties.

Applicants with First Nations or Inuit status may choose whether or not to declare their status. If they decide to declare and confirm their status as a member of the First Nations or Inuit of Quebec, they will be considered as part of the regular Quebec contingent (evaluation of application according to the regular selection process for this contingent, with participation in the McGill bilingual multiple mini-interviews (MMI) based on academic record) as well as part of the First Nations and Inuit contingent. It is thus possible for a candidate's application to be processed for both contingents in parallel.

Applicants who elect not to declare their First Nations or Inuit status will be considered along with every other applicant in the regular Quebec contingent.
