The Bottom Line
- MCC describes physiciansapply.ca as the secure account used to apply for MCC exams, source-verify credentials, and share documents with MRAs and other organisations.
- Source Verification Requests (SVR) have a defined workflow: prepare certified identity docs (if required), upload correctly, submit SVR, and pay fees.
- Your advantage is operational excellence: correct document preparation, consistent identity data, and a clear tracking system.
SVR workflow (mistake-proof)
1
1) Create and stabilise your physiciansapply.ca account
Use a long-term email and ensure your legal name matches your primary identity document(s).
2
2) Prepare documents properly before upload
MCC provides guidelines for preparing documents and may require certified copies of acceptable identity documents for SVR.
3
3) Create a new SVR inside the portal
MCC’s SVR steps include: log in, go to “Source verification requests,” create a new SVR, upload as instructed, and pay the fee.
4
4) Track SVR status like a project
Keep a tracker: SVR created date, documents submitted, any rejection notes, follow-up actions, and organisations you’ve shared with.

5) If you have prior verification elsewhere, follow MCC’s instructions
If you’re coming from other credential-verification systems, MCC provides specific guidance on what they still require for Canadian use.
