Ontario resists pressure to reverse new residency rule for international medical graduates
October 15, 2025
Ontario is standing firm in its decision to change eligibility requirements for international medical graduates to apply for first-round residencies despite mounting pressure to reverse course from advocacy groups, health system leaders and applicants.
The province announced last week a new rule for international medical graduates, or IMGs – doctors who trained outside of Canada and have permanent residency or Canadian citizenship. They must now have completed at least two years at an accredited Ontario high school to qualify for provincial residency positions in the first match.

As more than 50,000 teachers in Alberta enter their third week out of classes, the provincial government is set to table back-to-work legislation when the fall session begins next Monday.Premier Danielle Smith has said such legislation should be expected on Oct. 27 if the strike is unresolved by then. The province and Alberta Teachers’ Association remain at loggerheads, with the union rejecting Alberta’s proposal to enter mediation and end the strike because the province’s conditions mean class-size caps and student-teacher ratios would not be negotiable.
