If you are looking for Books for Medical Licensing in Canada, there are some books that are good for passing licensing exams in Canada. I am mentioning them for those, who are still determined to try their luck in Canada after reading the facts about fate of IMGs in Canada in "http://img-canada-usa.blogspot.com/2010/03/foreign-physicians-img-in-canada-myths.html"
Books for Medical Licensing in Canada so far I have understood are -
1. Ultimate Review for the MCCEE
2. Ultimate Questions for the MCCEE
Many have studied Toronto notes and after appearing the examination, their feeling was it was huge in context to the questions of MCCEE. Toronto notes are more relevant for MCCQE-1.
Goodluck for the IMGs in Canada.
This site intent to share information about immigration to Canada as well as working as physician there. Also highlights a few about USMLE and MCC examination preparation. More in real time to follow are at http://immigrantsfootsteps.blogspot.ca/
