Please follow the link to The College of Family Physician of Canada<\/a><\/span> to learn more.<\/p>\n In April 2015, the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) opened the online application for Certificates of Added Competence (CAC) in Family Medicine. To date, more than 600 applications have been completed or are in progress. There is still plenty of time to apply as the application will remain open until October 2015.<\/p>\n Please note an important change to the CAC eligibility criteria. The original five-year membership requirement excluded many qualified candidates from applying through the leader route. The new criteria only require candidates to be members of the CFPC at the time of their application. Other changes clarify the requirements for candidates who completed their training, or did most of their practice, outside of Canada.<\/p>\n Applications must be completed and submitted online. If applicable, third party documentation must be received by the College on or before the application closing date.<\/p>\n For further information and instructions about the CAC application process and to access the application, please go to www.cfpc.ca\/cac<\/a>. Please review carefully the updated eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n—–<\/span>CAC Revised Eligibility Criteria—–<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
