Submit your application for admission to a Doctor of Medicine by the required deadline and be sure to confirm your First Nations  or Nunavik Inuit Beneficiary status (See Step 1: Prescreening).  

Depending on your academic record, you can also apply for admission to the regular quota (*faculty-specific eligibility criteria apply and differ from those for applications through the QFNIMP).

It is recommended to submit an application to more than one faculty in order to maximize the chances of receiving an offer of admission. In the event of more than one offer of admission, the choice of university is

determined according to the applicant’s preference and based on the faculty of medicine’s capacity. 

The QFNIMP Coordinator will be there to guide you, accompany you and answer your questions.

Deadline: A number of factors relating to your educational background affect  the deadline to submit your application:

College students: March 1

University students:  November 1, with the exception of applications submitted at Université de Montréal: November 15 (Refer to the websites for validation)

Selected candidates will be contacted by email by Université Laval, as the faculty coordinating the provincial process, to continue the selection process, which consists of the following:

Selection interview

Selection interviews usually take place during the first two weeks of April. Evaluators are Inuit, members of a First Nation or people from the medical or academic fields.

Multiple Mini-Interviews (MMI) 

They allow a candidate’s personal skills and general competencies to be evaluated. They are usually held in Montreal.

Information session and priority choice of faculty

The four university partners introduce their program, then candidates are invited to prioritize the universities they would like to attend. 

Deadline: This process takes place starting at the end of March and in April

The final selection of candidates is made on the basis of results obtained during the selection process, according to the following  weighting:

• Individual interview: 50%
• MMI results: 50%

Deadline: Access to the final selection stage does not guarantee you will receive an offer of admission

Admission decisions are sent to successful candidates by mid-May.

Possible admission decisions are:

• Admission offer
• Waiting list
• Refusal

If you are on a waiting list, you may receive an admission offer during the summer, depending on the movements on the final selection list (withdrawal, release of spots in the QFNIFMP, etc.).
