Results
The Medical Council of Canada (MCC) sends candidates a Statement of Results by mail. The Statement of Results includes the candidate’s examination standing and total score as well as the score that was required to pass the examination. A copy of the Statement of Results is made available through the candidate’s MCC-Online account. Additionally, candidates can obtain supplemental feedback through their online accounts. The MCC provides examples of the Statement of Results and the online supplemental feedback report for the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination Part II (MCCQE Part II). The MCC has prepared a help file to assist candidates in interpreting their MCCQE Part II online supplemental feedback report.
Examination results are confirmed by MCC Central Examination Committee, which meets in June for the spring administration and in December for the fall administration.
Candidates will be notified of their results by mail within 15 business days of these meetings. Candidates will also be able to check their pass/fail standing through their MCC-Online account. Shortly after the pass/fail standing is released, candidates will also be able to access additional information through their MCC-Online accounts including a copy of their Statement of Results and their supplemental feedback report.
To prevent errors or fraud and for reasons of confidentiality, results cannot be given over the phone, by fax or by email.
Candidates should ensure that the mailing address the MCC has on file is up to date so that the Statement of Results will be sent to the correct address. The MCC must receive an address change at least two weeks before the mailing of result packages. The exact deadline for submitting address changes will be specified in the candidate’s Entrance Card package for the examination. If a candidate does not submit a change in address, he or she will be required to wait for the original result package to be returned to the MCC so that it can be redirected to the new address. To make an address change, please visit Updating your personal or contact information.
Candidates applying to an organization that requires submission of certified copies of the online supplemental feedback report can request that the MCC send certified copies. The request must be accompanied by payment of the applicable fees.
Fails
The MCC does not limit the number of times a candidate may attempt the MCCQE Part II. However, candidates with a pass standing on the MCCQE Part II cannot retake the examination.
Rescore Requests
Candidates should be aware that scores are verified several times before results are released. Candidates who were unsuccessful on the examination and who nevertheless wish to have their examination rescored must:
- Submit a written request to the MCC Executive Director before Sept. 1 for the spring exam or March 1 for the fall exam.
- Accompany the written request with credit card payment of the applicable fee of C$204.
Appeals
Any MCCQE Part II candidate who has been denied standing, including any denial of entry to future examinations, or who considers that the results of an examination have been prejudiced by the conduct of the examination may appeal to the Appeals Committee. Candidates cannot seek to appeal the content on the examination.
Any candidate wishing to launch an appeal must notify the Executive Director in writing within 45 days of the decision of the Central Examination Committee. For more information on the appeal process for the MCCQE Part II, please review the MCC bylaws.
