MCCQE Part 2 FAQs
Is the MCCQE Part 2 still offered in 2026?
No. The Medical Council of Canada has ceased delivery of the MCCQE Part II. Candidates seeking Canadian licensure should confirm the current clinical-assessment requirement with their provincial medical regulatory authority, as many jurisdictions use alternatives such as the NAC OSCE.
What replaced the MCCQE Part 2?
The MCCQE Part II was discontinued. IMGs applying for Canadian residency typically take the NAC OSCE as part of the CaRMS match, while licentiate pathways vary by province. Royal Medical Pathways can help you map the correct route for your situation.
