The Medical Council of Canada (MCC) was established in 1912 by authority of the Canada Medical Act. One of the original purposes of the MCC is to establish and promote a qualification in medicine, known as the Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC), which is recognized by the 13 medical regulatory authorities in Canada, and is one of the requirements for the issuance of a license to practice medicine in Canada.

To that end, the MCC administers the Qualifying Examination Part I (QE Part I) and the Qualifying Examination Part II (QE Part II). As of May 1992, a Pass standing is required on both the QE Part I and the QE Part II in order be awarded the Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada and be registered in the Canadian Medical Register.

An International Medical Graduate (IMG), for the purpose of eligibility for the MCC examinations, must have completed all of the requirements for the final medical diploma in a university outside of Canada or the United States which is listed in either the International Medical Education Directory or the World Health Organization's World Directory of Medical Schools. An IMG must have a valid pass standing on the MCC Evaluating Examination (MCCEE) as one of the eligibility criteria for the Qualifying Examination Part I. Exception: An IMG who is a specialist certified by a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialties may request an exemption from the MCCEE.
