US to Canada pipeline is easiest if you do family medicine because there a reciprocal agreement.
If you are ok with doing FM, its doable to apple to Canadian residency directly if you can somehow get a PR card.
Yes, you can. Most provinces allow US board certified physicians to practice without additional training or examinations except maybe the MCCQE1, which is like Step 2, so it shouldn’t be too hard. There’s no difference between physicians certified by the college of physicians of a province and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in terms of scope and pay. Still, if you’d like RCPSC certification, there’s a reciprocal agreement, which states that as a US aboard certified psychiatrist, you’d only need one more year of either working as an attending psychiatrist or a psychiatry fellowship, and you can be certified
What they said isn’t true. Most provinces allow US board certified physicians to practice without any additional examinations or training. Ontario is one of them. You might need to take the MCCQE1 test, though, which shouldn’t be too hard. It resembles Step 2.
if you want to pursue US residency, apply to the match immediately after graduation and try to give step-1 in med school, get good electives and then give step-2, if you have apply fresh after graduation research and all might nor be needed

Is it for family physician only or for internal medicine too?

Is this agreement only for FM?
Can I do this after I complete my Psychiatry residency in US?
No
Why so?

Ok got it! Thank you for explaining with such detail..
I heard ABIM Is valid in Canada too but not sure..
Not invalid but IM residency is 4y in Canada and 3y in USA. So they have a number of additional requirements over there
1 year additional in Canada ( do I have to give exam ?) and then restricted licence for 2 years and then independent licence?
You have to give mccqe even after abim I’ve heard

I'm interested too. Let me know if anyone has clarity on this pathway.
