    OCI process

    Hi, I'm in the same situation. On the OCI Status Enquiry, it says that my OCI was received in Ottawa on 13th Aug, but on BLS tracking it still says 'under process'. How long did it take for you to receive your OCI? Thanks!

    Doctors wishing to immigrate to Canada

    Hi CanDok, Just saw your question. ECA should be obtained from physiciansapply.ca. This is both for IRCC and for when you eventually wish to apply for a medical residency position or go for practice-ready assessment at any of the Canadian provinces.

    Doctors wishing to immigrate to Canada

    He would be eligible for an employer-specific work permit. A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) would also have to be obtained before submitting the work permit application. I think he would be eligible for express entry as soon as he gets a position with practice ready assessment. So he...
