Hi All, I'm a pharmacist about to fully relocate to Canada as a permanent resident. I will like to know if anyone has idea on the employment prospects of a foreign trained pharmacist in Canada. I know they need to do certain PEBC exams but what is the job market like? This is because some...

Hi All, Please I'm also interested in knowing what the job market looks like for pharmacists in Canada. A friend told me that there was some saturation being experienced in the US and I'd like to know of Canada Thanks

Thanks very much y'all @vic: First and foremost accept my heartfelt congratulations. It's always a big relief. As regards the passport stamping, I sent mine using Fedex since DHL in Lagos equally told me that they do not offer such services, but Fedex was willing to send to Accra but I had to...

Hi All, This morning I received back the passports of my family members and I (stamped with the visas) as well as Confirmation of Permanent Residence forms for all of us. Expiry dates on the visas were 20th of July 2009. So it gives us ample time to plan a befitting summer landing!! This...

Hi, I did the academic IELTS as there was no available slot for general IELTS in my country at that time. I got very good grades and they were accepted and now I've even sent passports to CHC for visa stamping. So, I'm sure it's accepted depending on the circumstances. However, I do not...

Hi BCGuy, Can you please give me insight into economic benefits and employability of a pharmacist in BC. vis-a-vis Toronto. I'm in the final stage of my PR (passport sent to visa office). I want to make up my mind on where to land later in the year Thanks

Soj, Pls how do I get the name and phone number of the contact person at the CHC Accra that DHL will pick up the stamped passports from? Is it that it is anyone they meet @ the front desk?

Hi All, I got my passport request on Nov 11 2008. I was told to send in passports to CHC Accra by 'pre-paid' return courier within 60 days. This is to enable them issue visa and send passports back to me by courier as they do not send passports by regular mail. However, I have inquired from...

Thanks tito and alomansi, I only intend to land and stay for a month or so to get all necssary docs like PR cards, SIN cards, open bank account etc and return to naija to plan final relocation. I also plan to sit for the Canada Pharmacy board exam in July while there. That's another reason that...

Soj, Thanks very much. My kids are b/w 1 yr and 4 yrs. Are u still in Naija or back to canada?

Ed, Thanks. I'm actually just hoping the 6 months is from date of sending passports in otherwise there would have been no need for stating whichever was earlier between the 6 months visa validity or expiry of medicals. This is because in my case, 6 months from date of letter is actually earlier...

Hi All my Accra friends, My family finally got our PPR via e-mail last week. It was so surprising and too good to be true. I couldn't scream bcos I saw the e-mail during office hours but it was an ecstatic feeling. We were given 60 days within which to send our passports by courier to CHC...

Hi Febby, Congrats! I also wish you a happy landing in Canada! I'm sure we'll join you there sooner than later by God's grace

Hi Febby, Congrats as I know that you're almost there! Febby, yes I did deliberately keep silent. I just wanted to chill as there wasn't anything fantastic coming from CHC since my last post. Moreso, work has been a bit hectic these days as I do a lot of travelling around 9ja. Incidentally, in...

Hi All, Sometime in 2006, CHC Accra requested for update of docs including proof of funds. At that time they specifically mentioned including stock valuation as part of proof of funds. I confidently got a stockbroker to do my stock valuation and sent to them. Now, I just received a request for...

soj, Thanks man. i keep commiting it to God everyday in prayers. mot, Not exactly. But I was told to show proof of proficiency in English Language in addition to all the other documents they requested for. so i decided to send the IELTS report.

Hi All, Just curious to know if anyone from accra is getting news from CHC these days. The wait seems like eternity! In my own case I applied in April 2002 and heard nothing till August 2006 when I was told to update docs within 60 days. I sent everything except IELTS by October(I could only...

Hi soj, It's sad to hear about the loss of your dad. Accept my heartfelt condolence. May the good Lord grant you and your family members the fortitude to bear the loss. May his soul rest in perfect peace. Amen

Bluffmaster and chsieh I think you can land in Canada and return to US once you still have a valid visa to re-enter the US. You can also make your intention of just landing and going back known to the immigration guys but that will mean that you will not be allowed to commence the processing of...

soj baba, Congrats!!! it's sure nice to learn that you have landed in Canada. Wishing you all the best. Keep warm sha.
