July 2007 - New Credentials Source Verification Service -
Physician Credentials Registry of Canada
What is PCRC?
The Physician Credentials Registry of Canada (PCRC), a division of the Medical Council of
Canada (MCC), has been established to provide a centralized repository of a physician's core
medical credentials which have been source-verified. It is designed to reduce duplication of effort
for medical graduates by gathering, verifying and permanently storing their credentials, which
have been submitted over time, in a single repository.
PCRC is responsible for obtaining primary source-verification of the validity of credentials from
the body that issued the documents. Examples of credentials that may be submitted to PCRC
include: medical degree diploma, medical school transcript, postgraduate medical training,
specialty certificate(s) confirming completion of a specialty or family medicine postgraduate
training program, medical licence and registration certificate. The repository will also retain
supporting documents such as authorizations, translations, photograph, certified proof of identity
document and proof of name change where applicable.
The resulting repository of verified credentials and supporting documents will enable an applicant
to establish a confidential, lifetime, professional electronic portfolio that can be shared with
authorized stakeholders, such as provincial and territorial medical regulatory authorities (MRAs)
and certifying and qualifying bodies. The responsibility for assessment and eligibility
determination continues to rest with the MRAs and certifying bodies, including the College of
Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC), the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada
(RCPSC) and the Collège des médecins du Québec (CMQ).
Background
In February 2004, the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Advisory Committee on Health Delivery and
Human Resources released its Report of the Canadian Task Force on Licensure of International
Medical Graduates. The report contained a number of recommendations intended to facilitate the
integration of qualified International Medical Graduates (IMGs) into the Canadian physician
workforce. One of those recommendations called for development and implementation of a
central credentials verification service designed to:
(i) Validate documents required for licensure and certification of IMGs
(ii) Maintain a repository of verified credentials.
In 2005, in response to this recommendation, the Medical Council of Canada (MCC), in
partnership with the Federation of Medical Regulatory Authorities of Canada (FMRAC) and
supported by Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC), funded the project
to establish the Physician Credentials Registry of Canada (PCRC) as a division of MCC. Source
verification will be conducted by PCRC in conjunction with the Educational Commission for
Foreign Medical Graduates International Credentials Services (EICS).
