I find this a little hard to believe, because American licensing and board exams are expensive and usually are taken over the course of many years.
For example, the licensing exam (USMLE) has 4 parts, one of which involves travel to the US for an in-person oral exam.
Edit: It looks like Canada might be accepting USMLE as equivalent to their exam. In that case it would make since to only take the US exams, allowing you to be potentially licensed in both countries.

- bryanlarsen 16y agoI'll have to ask my wife for more details, but my impression is that they take the test but don't get fully licensed unless they actually plan to work in the States. They definitely do travel to the US for the oral exam. As for cost, the practice is much more common for specialists rather than MD's.
