  3. If you think that you may be eligible, submit a completed screening application form and the required assessment fees to Registration Services (See Paragraphs 28 and 29 for the appropriate screening application). Please be advised that incomplete screening applications will be returned to sender immediately.

    A copy of your curriculum vitae may be appended to the screening application. A copy of the guidelines for curriculum vitae is set out below;

  4. If advised by the College that you will be eligible for a license, assemble the documents that will be required by the College and make arrangements to appear for interview by the College.

Paragraph 3 - Review of credentials

Before the College of Physicians and Surgeons accepts an application for a license, the College upon receipt of the assessment fees will review the physician's screening application to ensure that the physician meets the requirements of the College bylaws.

The physician's Curriculum Vitae should follow the following format and contain the following information to permit the College to assess whether the physician possesses the qualifications necessary for registration in Saskatchewan:

  1. Full name and date of birth;
  2. The name and location of the university (location must include name of city and country) where the physician's undergraduate education was taken, the years that the physician attended university and the degrees the physician was granted, if any;
  3. The name of the university where the physician's medical degree was taken, the years the physician attended, the degree the physician was granted and when that degree was granted;
  4. Information about all postgraduate training which the physician received, including the names of the institutions where the education was taken, the period of time during which the education was taken, the disciplines in which the physician was trained, the time spent in each discipline and the dates of training in each discipline;
  5. Information about any additional qualifications which the physician possesses in the practice of medicine, when such qualifications were granted, and by whom the qualifications were granted;
  6. The names of all licensing authorities that have granted the physician a license to practice, including the nature of the license and the period of time for which the physician held a license;
  7. Complete information about the physician's work history which includes the dates worked in each location and a general description of the physician's medical practice while the physician worked there;
  8. The physician's CV should describe the physician's activities during the entirety of the time since the physician was granted a medical degree. If there are any periods of time during which the physician was neither working as a physician nor in a training program, the CV should provide an explanation for such gaps.

If the Curriculum Vitae is provided to the College, it should be attached to the Screening Document and forwarded to College Registration Services at cpssreg@cps.sk.ca.

Paragraph 6 - Terminology

FLEX - The Federal Licensing Examination. An American Examination available until approximately 1994.

MCCEE - The Medical Council of Canada Evaluating Examination (MCCEE) is a four-hour computer-based examination offered in both English and French at more than 500 centers in 73 countries worldwide.

MCCQE - The Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE) is a two part examination. Part I is a computer-based examination. Part II is a structured clinical examination in which the candidate is required to interact with standard patients, obtain histories, conduct examinations, reach potential diagnoses and suggest possible therapies. Both Part I and Part II are offered twice per year at a number of centers in Canada. Upon passing Part II the candidate is given the designation of LMCC.

LMCC - the designation given to physicians who are successful in the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination.

USMLE - the United States Medical Licensing Examination. USMLE is administered in three parts, USMLE Part 1, USMLE Part 2 and USMLE Part 3.

Paragraph 7 - Licensure of Canadian-Trained Physicians

Most Canadian-trained physicians are eligible for full licensure. A Canadian-trained family physician will be eligible for a full license if:

  1. the physician has attained the LMCC; and
  2. the physician has successfully completed a 24-month residency in family medicine in Canada; or
  3. the physician has successfully completed a 12-month internship and was fully registered in a Canadian province PRIOR to the change in licensing requirements from a 12-month internship to a 24-month residency.

Certification with the College of Family Practice is not a requirement for full licensure in Saskatchewan.

Physicians who have completed a residency in a specialty in a Canadian training program will be eligible if they:

  1. have certification with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada; and
  2. have attained the LMCC.

Provisional licenses are available for family physicians who have not attained the LMCC and for physicians with specialty training who have not yet obtained Royal College certification or the LMCC.

Temporary licenses (also called locum tenens permits) are also available for physicians who will be practicing temporarily in Saskatchewan.

Canadian physicians seeking registration in Saskatchewan should submit a CV as outlined in paragraph 3, review the questions in paragraph 17, review the mandatory insurance requirements in paragraph 18, and be prepared to present the documents described in paragraphs 15 or 16 in order to achieve registration.

Paragraph 8 - Alternative licensure for physicians with international medical qualifications.

Most physicians with international medical credentials do not meet the requirements for full, unrestricted, licensure. The Saskatchewan College's philosophy that underlies its licensing rules that permit granting alternative forms of licensure to such physicians is to:

Paragraph 9 - Categories of license available

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan offers the following forms of licensure to physicians:

  1. Temporary licenses (also referred to as locum tenens permits) - for family physicians. A physician who has:
    • completed 24 months of approved postgraduate training (see paragraph 13 below); and
    • either full licensure in the country in which their training was obtained or the MCCEE, USMLE or FLEX

    may be eligible for a temporary, unsupervised, license. A physician who has completed 12 months of approved postgraduate training may be eligible for a temporary, supervised, license (See Paragraph 14 (2) below for details). A temporary license is limited to 12 months and cannot generally be extended or renewed. A physician practicing under a temporary license must be sponsored by a physician who has full or provisional licensure with the College.

  2. Temporary licenses (also referred to as locum tenens permits) for physicians with specialty credentials. A physician who has:
    • a specialty designation from Canada, the United States, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia or New Zealand that is acceptable to the Council; and either
    • full registration with the regulatory body granting the qualification; or
    • MCCEE, USMLE or FLEX

    may be eligible for a temporary license.

    A temporary license is limited to 12 months and cannot generally be extended or renewed. A physician practicing under a temporary license must be sponsored by a physician who has full or provisional licensure with the College.

  3. Provisional licenses - for family physicians. These are available to physicians who have 24 months of approved postgraduate training and either full licensure with the country in which their training was taken or a pass standing in the MCCEE. A physician must make a commitment to remain in a named Saskatchewan community for 3 years in order to obtain a provisional license. The physician must write the MCCEE at the next opportunity and must pass the MCCEE within 2 years. The physician must pass the MCCQE Part I within 4 years and must pass the MCCQE Part II within 5 years. If the physician obtains the LMCC, the physician will be eligible for a full license.

  4. Provisional licenses - for physicians with specialist qualifications. These are available to physicians who are certification eligible with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. A physician must make a commitment to remain in a named Saskatchewan community for 3 years in order to obtain a provisional license. The physician must obtain Royal College certification within the period of Royal College certification-eligibility (usually 3 years) and must obtain the LMCC within 5 years. A physician who obtains certification and who obtains the LMCC will be granted a full license.

  5. Special licenses - There are several categories of special licenses, generally only for physicians with specialty credentials. These include:
    1. special licenses for psychiatrists to work for the Government of Saskatchewan, a district health board or the Regional Psychiatric Centre. Such licenses are offered to physicians who hold certification in psychiatry from a program accepted by Saskatchewan and for whom a special request is made by the Saskatchewan Minister of Health. Such licenses are only valid while the physician continues to work for the employer that hired them.
    2. special licenses for oncologists who have been offered a position by the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency if a special request is made by the Minister of Health. Such licenses are only valid while the physician continues to work for the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency.
    3. special licenses for Medical Health officers who have been offered a position as a Medical Health Officer by a district health board, who have a Masters degree in public health from a program recognized in Saskatchewan and for whom a special request is made by the Saskatchewan Minister of Health. Such licenses are only valid while the physician continues to work for the district health board that employed them.
    4. special licenses for physicians who are not certification eligible with the Royal College but who meet other defined criteria. There must be an unmet need for the physician's services that cannot be met by a Royal College certified or certification-eligible physician. The physician must hold specialty credentials that are recognized by the Saskatchewan College. The physician must have undergone an assessment of their skills and knowledge. The physician must agree to take an examination in their specialty when such an examination becomes available. The physician must attain the LMCC within 5 years. The physician must make a commitment to remain in a named Saskatchewan community for a period of 3 years.

  6. Full licenses - for family physicians. These are available to physicians who have 24 months of approved post graduate training and who have obtained the LMCC.

  7. Full licenses - for physicians with specialty qualifications. These are available to physicians who have achieved certification with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and who have obtained the LMCC.

  8. Educational licenses - for physicians involved in an approved training program with the College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan.

Paragraph 10 - Progress of licensure for family physicians whose training was obtained from countries other than Canada

A physician's postgraduate training will determine the available licensing options.

Physicians who have 24 months of approved postgraduate training, but who lack training in psychiatry, are eligible for a temporary, unsupervised, license. In order to be eligible for continued licensure the physician will have to either obtain additional training in psychiatry or be successful in the CAPE assessment (see paragraph 13(2) below). Physicians should be aware that training in psychiatry can be very difficult to obtain in Canada and they may be wise to obtain such training before beginning work in Saskatchewan (if possible).

A family physician who has the required postgraduate training for permanent licensure can choose either a temporary, unsupervised license or a provisional license.

Physicians with at least 12 months of approved postgraduate training (see paragraph 12(a) below) may be eligible for a temporary supervised license. Unless the physician obtains additional training, or unless the physician is referred to, and is successful in, the CAPE assessment (see paragraph 13(4) below) the physician will not be eligible for ongoing licensure after the expiry of the temporary, supervised license.

Most physicians choose to begin practice with a temporary license and later transfer to a provisional license. They use the time while practicing on a temporary license to decide if they want to continue to practice in Saskatchewan, and in that community. After they decide that they want to practice medicine on a longer-term basis in that community they transfer to a provisional license. In order to obtain a provisional license, a physician is required to agree to remain in a named Saskatchewan community for 3 years.

A provisionally registered physician who passes the examinations of the Medical Council of Canada will be fully registered.

Paragraph 11 - Progress of licensure for physicians with specialty qualifications whose training was obtained from countries other than Canada

Physicians who have international qualifications in a specialty that meet the college's requirements, but who have not yet obtained a ruling from the Royal college of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada respecting their certification-eligibility, generally begin work on a temporary license.

If such physicians are certification-eligible with the Royal College, they are generally eligible for a provisional or special license. Both these licenses require the physician to commit to practicing in a named Saskatchewan Community for 3 years, require the physician to obtain Royal College certification within 3 years and require the physician to attain the LMCC within 5 years.

Upon obtaining Royal College certification and attaining the LMCC, a physician will be granted a full license.

Physicians who are not certification-eligible with the Royal College, but who have practiced successfully on a temporary license, and who meet the requirements described in paragraph 8(5)(e) above may be eligible for a special license to continue practice.

Paragraph 12 - Acceptable medical degrees

Generally, the College of Physicians and Surgeons will accept medical degrees from medical schools listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools published by the World Health Organization.

Paragraph 13 - Postgraduate training requirements - family physicians

  1. Unsupervised temporary licenses

    In order to obtain a temporary unsupervised license, a physician must have a minimum of 24 months of postgraduate training from a university-affiliated teaching hospital located in a country recognized by Saskatchewan. The hospital must be one that is approved by the medical regulatory body in which the training occurs. Most postgraduate training in Canada, the United States, South Africa, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand is accepted as meeting the Saskatchewan requirements for postgraduate training.

    This postgraduate training must include a minimum of eight weeks in each of general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine and pediatrics.

  2. Supervised temporary licenses

    Physicians with at least 12 months of approved postgraduate training plus a period of successful independent practice may be eligible for a temporary supervised license. Such a physician can only practice in a location in which another licensed physician is available to provide assistance and supervision as may be necessary. Unless the physician obtains additional training, or unless the physician is referred to, and is successful in, the CAPE assessment the physician will not be eligible for ongoing licensure after the expiry of the temporary, supervised license.

    In order to be recognized by the College of Physicians and Surgeons, the post graduate training program must occur in a university-affiliated teaching hospital located in a country recognized by Saskatchewan. The hospital must be one that is approved by the medical regulatory body in which the training occurs. Most postgraduate training in Canada, the United States, South Africa, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand is accepted as meeting the Saskatchewan requirements for postgraduate training.

    This postgraduate training must include a minimum of eight weeks in each of general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine and pediatrics.

    Our registration requirements call for an 8 week rotation in psychiatry as a requirement for more permanent licensure. While we do exhibit some flexibility in the postgraduate training requirements for psychiatry, we do expect that a physician will have training that we can consider the equivalent of a rotation in psychiatry in order to practice on a permanent basis in Saskatchewan.

  3. Postgraduate training requirements - provisional and full licenses

    For provisional or full licenses a physician must meet the postgraduate training requirements for a temporary license and must have, in addition an 8-week rotation in psychiatry, or its equivalent.

  4. The CAPE Assessment

    In some circumstances, physicians will be referred to the CAPE program for an assessment. The CAPE program is an assessment program offered in Winnipeg for certain physicians who do not meet all of the College's requirements for postgraduate training. The CAPE assessment involves approximately 3 - 4 days in a formal assessment program in which the physician's skill, knowledge and judgment is tested and is compared with the assessments that have been made of physicians in active practice in Manitoba. The cost for such an assessment is approximately $4,000.00.

    In order to be eligible for a referral to that program, the physician must be licensed and working in Saskatchewan.

    If a physician is referred to the CAPE assessment, and is successful in that assessment, the physician will be regarded as meeting all of the College's postgraduate training requirements for a family physician.

Paragraph 14 - Sponsorship requirements - temporary licenses

All physicians who practice under a temporary license must be sponsored by a physician who has a provisional license or a full license with the College.

The sponsoring physician must be one who practices in the same community, or in a neighboring community. The expectation of the College is that the sponsoring physician will accept the responsibility to:

  1. Introduce the physician to the district health board administration and assist the physician to complete the application for privileges (if the physician is seeking privileges);
  2. Introduce the physician to the community;
  3. Acquaint the physician with referral patterns of the practice;
  4. Make the physician aware of the billing system, including the Medical Services Plan payment schedule and the Saskatchewan Medical Association Guide to Physicians' fees;
  5. Acquaint the physician with taxation issues by referring the physician to Revenue Canada or an accountant; and,
  6. Be available for consultation as may be required.

Paragraph 15 - Educational licenses

These are available to physicians in recognized training programs through the College of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan. A physician must:

  1. Achieve a score of 600 in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) if the physician's medical training occurred in a language other than English; and,
  2. A pass standing in the MCCEE.

Paragraph 16 - Required documents for registration - family physicians

Registration is generally only granted after an interview with the Registrar's office. The College relies upon production of ORIGINAL documents at the time of the interview. PHOTOCOPIES AND CERTIFIED COPIES ARE NOT ACCEPTED. The documents that must generally be produced in order to achieve registration are the following:

  1. the physician's original medical degree;
  2. If a temporary or provisional license is to be granted on the basis of a physician's full registration with a regulatory body acceptable to the College, proof of that full registration;
  3. If registration is granted on the basis of having passed MCCEE, USMLE or FLEX - original documentation from the issuing body.
  4. ECFMG certificate if one has been granted. Effective January 1, 2008 the College will require credential verification from the Physician Registry of Canada (PCRC). Information regarding PCRC is available on the Medical Council of Canada website;
  5. Any other documentation relevant to the physician's credentials as a family physician (CCFP, M. Fam. Med, MRCP (GP), board certification, etc.)
  6. a Certificate of Good Standing dated within the past three months from the regulatory body with which the physician was most recently registered;
  7. a Certificate of Good Standing dated subsequent to the date of last practice in the jurisdiction from each of the regulatory bodies in the jurisdictions in which the physician has been registered;
  8. letters from each of the hospitals in which the physician's postgraduate training took place which state:
    1. disciplines in which the physician was trained;
    2. time spent in each discipline; and,
    3. evidence of satisfactory performance.
  9. a translation of any documents not in the English language prepared by a recognized translation agency;
  10. a photograph of approximately passport size to attach to the application; and
  11. proof of identity - generally a passport.

Paragraph 17 - Required documents for registration - physicians with specialty qualifications

Registration is generally only granted after an interview with the Registrar's office. The College relies upon production of original documents at the time of the interview. The documents that must generally be produced in order to achieve registration are the following:

  1. the physician's original medical degree;
  2. the original document certifying that the physician possesses the specialty qualification;
  3. If a temporary or provisional license is to be granted on the basis of a physician's full registration with a regulatory body acceptable to the College, proof of that full registration;

  7. a translation of any documents not in the English language prepared by a recognized translation agency;
  8. a Certificate of Good Standing dated within the past three months from the regulatory body in the jurisdiction in which the physician was most recently registered;
  9. a Certificate of Good Standing dated subsequent to the date of last practice in the jurisdiction from the regulatory body in each of the jurisdictions in which the physician has been registered;
  10. a photograph of approximately passport size to attach to the application; and
  11. proof of identity - generally a passport;

Paragraph 18 - Questions asked of Applicants

Applicants for all forms of licensure will be required to answer a series of questions to ascertain eligibility for licensure. The following is a summary of inquiries made by the College in establishing eligibility for registration:

  1. have ever had any application for medical licensure rejected;
  2. have ever had their medical license, registration or certificate suspended or revoked;
  3. have ever been convicted of a criminal offence;
