From Toronto to Vancouver, Ittefaq confirms every Canadian physician's standing directly with their provincial college of physicians and surgeons before their profile goes live.
Canada's medical training and licensing is provincial, not national — a general matrimony platform has no way to verify a claim against the right college. We do.
Residency and fellowship rotations often mean spending training years in a different province than where you plan to eventually practice. Cross-province search matters here more than almost anywhere.
