2025 R-1 Main Residency Match — first iteration

Reference documents are an essential part of an application, so the applicants who’ve asked you to provide one are counting on you to submit it on time so it can be processed into their account before it’s time for programs to review references.

Submit references electronically through your CaRMS Online referee account.

The 2025 match timeline will be posted shortly

DEADLINE: Translation requests for references

Applicants who would like their references to be translated through the CaRMS-facilitated translation service must make the request through CaRMS Online by today to allow sufficient time for translation before file review begins. References must be available in the applicant’s CaRMS Online account in order for us to process the translation.

All requests for the translation of references submitted before the deadline are guaranteed to be completed and uploaded into the applicant’s CaRMS Online account before the opening of file review.

We will continue to process translations that are requested after this date, but, due to the high volume of requests, we cannot guarantee they will be available in applicant accounts before file review begins.

If applicants would like their references to be translated by the CaRMS-facilitated translation service, they must be submitted before the translation request deadline of October 10 at 17:00 ET.
