CANADIAN STUDENTS ASSOCIATION (CANSA)

The mission of CanSA is that of information.  While all of us should be focusing mainly on our education while we are here in the Caribbean, very few of us know what awaits us after we have completed our two years of Basic Sciences.  As Canadians, we have special circumstances for our clinical years that many of the other students don't face, whether they be either American or from another Nation.  While it is possible for any one person to find all of the information that is required of a Canadian student progress, which is what former students had to do on their own, this is a very tedious and time-consuming process.  Worse yet is finding out what we can do for residency and licensing as both Canadian and U.S. policies are changing each year.

This is why CanSA was revived.  Our members are now spreading the workload of information gathering not on the shoulders of 1 individual but amongst a group.  Not only does this make it easier for every student to make informed decisions but it also draws us close as a community and gives us one voice of Unity.  As a unified community, rather than many single voices, we will be able to make a stronger case on matters such as policy changes regarding Canadians with International Medical Degrees and residency spots.
