Applying for a citizen/permanent resident as a MEDICAL DOCTOR??

[orimairu]

Hi, I'm just planning. I'm a Thai citizen and will complete my MBBS course at Auckland (New Zealand) in 2019~2020.

Can I work in Canada and apply to be a permanent resident/citizen there?

And will I be able to go through the fast-track application processes? (Are doctors lacking in Canada?)

And is it very hard to get a place for medical residency/fellowship there??

Please advise me on this!

Thank you! ;D

No - doctors unfortunately aren't on the desired occupations list at this time.

And no - you won't be able to work here as soon as you arrived.

To work as a doctor in Canada, you will have to go through a re-certification process since it's a regulated profession. My understanding is that this process typically takes several years.
