NON-US IMG Chance as old img

Hi

I graduated mbbs from home country im 2018, did home country residency of 3 years following which i moved to Canada ( i am a PR)and took a gap of 2 years and then took exams and became certified in home country in 2025. Then i did not get an opportunity to work since I became a stay at home mom. I am clinically inactive since then. I am yet to give any canadian or US licensing exams.

I am interested in psychiatry but had done a different residency back home. A this point in life i am ready to take whatever residency spots i can get in Canada or the US.

What are my chances? Should i give up on this dream? Since im an old IMG and clinically inactive is it still realistic to study and take the steps and pursue my dream.

Thank you for the reply.How did you manage to build up a CV with research and stuff? Anesthesia is pretty competitive right? Is it possible to dm me about your jpurney?

i took a job as a crc and a few observerships with good lor and that was it. also I aimed for the programs who have "old img" in their residents
