It depends….
In the past yes, but now the department actually needs to have enough AC vacancies to hire you as an AC.
If you don’t get an AC spot, you can choose to remain in the department as a Service Registrar until a spot opens up.

It’s slightly different for Family Medicine.
you become AC only 3 years after FM residency.
And C only after completing another 2 year fellowship + doing quite a bit of extra work on top of clinical duties.
