As the title suggests, I'm a Canadian IMG studying in Poland. I'm graduating next year (May 2018).
I would like to apply for UK Foundation Programme. I have a list of questions that I have and wasn't able to find a good answer to.
I hold Canadian citizenship, and I don't have EU-status. I understand that I need to take the PLAB tests. However, in order to register to do the PLABs, I need to be a medical school graduate and hold a medical degree. This means that I may have to take a year off after graduation to be able to apply (the last thing that I want to do is take a year off after graduation).
PLAB is needed for provisional registration with GMC, which is a requirement for applying for Foundation Programme.
My other option is to get exempted from PLAB, but I don't meet any of the exemption criteria: which are get sponsored by an approved institution (I would have to have my internship completed for this to apply), have a partner or be dependent of an EU-citizen (which doesn't apply to me)
Is there anyone who could offer me some help in this matter? Does anyone know someone who has been in my position?
