A program counts once however many streams it has (CMG, IMG and the others are the tags on its row). Positions are the quotas each stream states; a program that states none is not counted as zero, and a quota two streams of one program both state, as the University of Manitoba’s Competitive pairs do, is counted once. Counted from the 2027 program pages read 19 Oct 2026. The 2026 programs are on the Programs page. CdnMD is independent of CaRMS: confirm everything on carms.ca (opens in a new tab). Found a mistake?
