General principles
Institutions and candidates are bound by their contracts with CaRMS which also refers to the Match Violations Policy. It is a general principle that Participating Residency Programs through Program Directors or agents of the program (other faculty; interviewing teams including Residents) will not exert undue or unwarranted pressure on the selection decisions of Applicants. Both Applicants and Participating Residency Programs may express a high degree of interest in each other but may not make statements implying a commitment. Programs cannot ask applicants how they intend to rank programs or request any information on other programs the applicant may have applied to. All information in a letter of reference is considered confidential (unless stated otherwise) and may not be shared with a candidate without explicit permission from the referee.
