An Indonesian applicant needs a UBC-supported appointment route, College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC registration, CMPA coverage and a valid work permit. The separate sponsored-visa trainee route requires a formal institutional sponsorship agreement and full external funding; it is not a general self-funded application route.
