1. It is unlikely that you would qualify as a skilled worker in either FSW 1, 2, or 3, as you have not worked as a physician as yet and to qualify in FSW 1 you require at least one years experience in the "list"
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/backgrounders/2008/2008-11-28a.asp and it would have to have been as a specialist physician.
2. You should note that foreign trained physicians have a great difficulty in qualifying to practise in Canada. Less than 10% are able to get a residency after passing the exams. If you are set in practising in Canada, you would probably need to apply under one of the PNP programs. Here is the information for BC.
