English Language Proficiency
A valid English Language Proficiency test with minimum scores required is necessary for each program cycle application.
Option A
Proof of valid English Language Proficiency test dated no earlier than May 01, 2023 (result must be valid and current for 2025 Externship) AND minimum scores achieved on a single test. Notes:
- The Administrative Exception (AE) process is not to be used to request approval for the submission of an ELP test dated earlier than May 01, 2023.
- The deadline for Option A ELP proof submission is August 30, 2024 @ 3:30 PM MT, with no extensions or exceptions. This includes all Enquiry on Results (EoR), appeals, re-writes, re-marking, and re-evluations.
- The AIMG Program does not accept or process results sent directly from the testing centre. Do not submit results in this manner.
- The AIMG Program will not accept any physical copies of ELP results. All results must be uploaded by August 30, 2024 @ 3:30 PM MT.
Option B
Exemption from English language proficiency testing as per the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA). Notes:
- ELP exemptions are subject to CPSA approval.
- CPSA retains the right to deny any ELP exemption should the proof provided fail to clearly outline that the applicant meets the exemption criteria.
- A CPSA practice permit acquired for the CAP 2024 Cycle will not be recognized as ELP exemption by CPSA for AIMG Program application to the 2025 Cycle.
- Individual conversations with CPSA registrars do not constitute as appropriate possibility of ELP exemption.
