Who is behind StudyROM?
Built by a student in Romania who learned the route from the inside.
StudyROM is built by a current student living in Romania who learned the application, arrival, and residence-card process firsthand without clear guidance. The goal is simple: help Canadian students and parents understand the real order before they spend money, miss a document, or arrive confused.
You get student-perspective guidance on applications, documents, deadlines, visa planning, housing, residence-card steps, and first-week setup, with official decisions left to the official authorities.

Cost comparison
See the lower-cost route in real numbers.
For Canadian citizens, the honest comparison is the full route: Canada usually means at least 3 years of undergraduate study before medicine or dentistry, then professional-school tuition and Canadian city living costs. Craiova gives a direct-entry European route after high school, with UMF Craiova listing 2026/2027 Medicine in English at 8,500 euro per year and Dental Medicine in English at 6,500 euro per year.
Official 2026/2027 tuition for Dental Medicine in English before living costs and document or visa expenses.
Direct-entry dental route | English-taught programMany Canadian applicants complete 3+ years of undergraduate study before competing for medicine or dentistry, then face professional tuition and Canadian city living costs.
U of T examples: MD year one $23,090-$27,510 CAD; DDS annual total $51,200 CADCost methodology: Romania figures use UMF Craiova's official 2026/2027 published tuition for Medicine in English and Dental Medicine in English. Canadian examples use public University of Toronto MD and DDS domestic fee pages as recognizable benchmarks. This is a planning comparison, not a guarantee of total cost, admission, licensing, exchange rates, or living expenses.
Why this works
Not a random dream. A real international medical graduate pathway.
A Romanian degree does not automatically make anyone a doctor in Canada. The honest advantage is planning early: students can understand the IMG pathway, check acceptable-school rules before applying, and avoid discovering key steps too late.
Accepted-school pathway
The Medical Council of Canada explains that an acceptable international medical degree must come from an acceptable school, and the World Directory listing must include the Canada Sponsor Note for the relevant graduation years.
MCC recognition rulesCheaper student life
Craiova can be dramatically cheaper month-to-month than major Canadian cities. Rent, food, transport, and day-to-day costs are usually the difference students feel immediately.

Credential verificationReal student guidance
I had to figure this out without a guide. You do not.
The value is not just a checklist. It is the order: which papers come first, what needs translation, when money has to be ready, what first week in Craiova feels like, and where students lose time because nobody explained the sequence.
