Alternative Career for Doctors
There could be many, but the u/mentioned three (3) come to my mind:

1. Clinical Research Officers (after a post grad course)
Usually after a certificate program (1 year in length with 3 months internship), which is offered by many colleges, an IMD can be employed in a growing health industry (pharmaceutical, biotechnology & medical devices companies, research institutes & hospitals) involved in development of new drugs and therapies. U could be responsible for conducting clinical trials, which means conducting experiments on humans with new drugs/therapies before these are introduced to the market.
Eg. site offering such program:
http://www.humber.ca/program/07681

2. Regulatory Affairs Officers (after a post grad course)
Regulatory affairs professionals help businesses ensure that product development, manufacturing and marketing practices meet or exceed government requirements. Again in response to a growing need in the health and food industries, the Regulatory Affairs Officers provide their specialized knowledge to help biotechnology, medical device, pharmaceutical and food companies manage Govtl. regulatory processes.
Eg. site offering such program:
http://www.humber.ca/program/07721

3. Forensic Health Officers (after a post grad course)
An FHO is gainfully employed in law enforcement organizations. They are often involved in situations where they are required to assess and provide professional assistance to victims of crime. As a result of advances in forensic science, it has become necessary for providers of law enforcement to incorporate FHOs into their service - in order to ensure that not only is the client receiving a high standard of care, but also that forensic evidence is appropriately documented and preserved for subsequent legal proceedings.
Eg. site offering such program:

Step-3. Medical Practice of 1 year:
In order to be accepted into Residency Programs, they must have at least one [1] year of continuous medical practice within the previous four years. This is usually a hands-on training under a qualified medical practitioner.

Problem-3. Qualifying for the Residency Programs:
Foreign-trained doctors are caught in a Catch-22. In order to be accepted into residency programs, they must have at least one year of continuous medical practice. This is nearly impossible to accomplish. 'Coz, upon immigrating to Canada, doctors also must take Canadian university courses and are required to sit for provincial and federal exams before they are allowed to practice medicine. Therein lies the problem: they cannot get the residency without the experience and cannot practice in Canada without passing the qualifying exams A complex situation, albeit.
Thanks qorax for your informative post. I'm looking into opportunities for my wife who is coming to Canada tomorrow first time as a PR.

As I've been researching on this for last few months, I never noticed the requirement of 1 year practice before medical residency. You also mentioned that DOCTORS MUST TAKE CANADIAN UNIVERSITY COURSES. If that's still a MUST thing for the province of Ontario, how you do that?

FYI, my wife is fairly a fresh medical graduate (problem is that her medical degree is a bachelor one, called MBBS). She passed WHO/FAIMER aprroved medical school back in Bangladesh in 2009, did a one-year mandatory internship in the same school/hospital in 2010 and immediately joined a hospital as a medical officer and worked till Sep 30, 2011.

Very true.
Not necessarily they get to become a Taxi-Driver or Security Guard - but the going is surely very tough.

Physiotherapy in Canada

Physiotherapy is the fifth largest regulated occupation in Canada. One-half of all physiotherapists work in or own a private practice. Other physiotherapists work in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, patients' homes, homes for the aged, summer camps, schools, sports centres and industrial work sites.

In Canada, to work as a physiotherapist, you must register with the regulatory body in the province or territory where you work. There is a complete list of these regulatory bodies at www.alliancept.org.

The Alliance carries out credential evaluation and administers examinations for competency on behalf of most of the provincial and territorial regulators. The Alliance's assessments and examinations do not give you the right to practise or register as a physiotherapist in Canada. Each provincial and territorial regulator may have additional requirements. The Alliance provides information to the regulators on credentials and qualifications, and the regulators decide who can and who cannot receive a licence to practise.

Becoming a Registered Physiotherapist in Canada

There are a number of steps to becoming a registered physiotherapist in Canada:

1. You must decide in which province or territory you want to work. Next, you must find out what requirements you will need to meet to work there by contacting the regulator in that province or territory. Find links to the regulators [below].

2. For most regulators, you must complete The Alliance's Educational Credentials and Qualifications Assessment. You can begin this before you come to Canada.
-This assessment ensures that your qualifications are similar to the qualifications of a Canadian-educated physiotherapist.
-You will need to prove your language skills or take a language test.
-You must pay fees for the assessment.

For the province of Quebec, you must apply to have your credentials assessed by l'Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (in French only).

3. For most regulators, you must pass the Physiotherapy Competency Examination (PCE) administered by The Alliance.
-The PCE has two parts: (a)a written component and (b)a clinical component.
-You must pass the written component before you can take the clinical component.
-You must pay fees to take the examinations.

For the province of Quebec, you may have to take courses or meet other requirements.

4. You must apply to the regulator in your chosen province or territory for a licence or registration.
-Requirements differ for each province and territory.
-In some provinces or territories, you can apply for a temporary licence or registration after
--you register for the PCE or
--after you successfully complete the written component of the PCE.

Provincial and Territorial Regulators
-College of Physical Therapists of British Columbia
-College of Physical Therapists of Alberta
-Saskatchewan College of Physical Therapists
-College of Physiotherapists of Manitoba
-College of Physiotherapists of Ontario

Pharmacy in Canada

A pharmacist is a regulated professional in Canada. To practise as a pharmacist, you must be licensed or registered by the provincial or territorial pharmacy regulatory authority in the province or territory where you plan to work.

While the majority of licensed pharmacists are employed in community pharmacies, many others work in hospitals and other health-care facilities. A small number of pharmacists are employed with pharmaceutical companies, universities and government departments.

There are other rewarding occupations within pharmacy, such as pharmacy technicians and assistants. Pharmacy technicians are becoming a regulated health profession in many jurisdictions in Canada. Be sure to also research the requirements for pharmacy technicians with the pharmacy regulatory authority where you plan to work.

Becoming a Pharmacist in Canada

There are a number of requirements you must meet to obtain a licence to work as a pharmacist. You should contact the pharmacy regulatory authority in the province or territory where you wish to work before coming to Canada to clarify specific requirements.

Academic Qualifications and Knowledge Assessment

Your education will be assessed to determine if it is the equivalent of a Canadian pharmacy education. All provinces and territories except Quebec require applicants to successfully complete the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) evaluating examination as well as the two-part qualifying examination. You can find information on the evaluating and qualifying examinations at The Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada.

There will be additional application forms and fees associated with the required examinations administered through the PEBC. Determine the fees you will have to pay and all important dates since deadlines to apply for the examinations are usually at least three months before the test date.

Quebec applicants must follow the assessment requirements set out by the provincial pharmacy regulatory authority, the Ordre des pharmaciens du Québec (in French only).

During the assessment of your qualifications and knowledge, the provincial or territorial pharmacy regulatory authority may determine that additional educational and training courses are necessary to prepare you for pharmacy practice in Canada.

Jurisprudence
Jurisprudence competencies focus on the legal and ethical elements of the professional standards of practice and the code of ethics. You need to meet the pharmacy jurisprudence competencies for licensure as a pharmacist in Canada. Successful completion of a jurisprudence examination is required in each jurisdiction.

Practical Training in Canada
Before you obtain a licence to work as a pharmacist, you will need to gain practical experience in the Canadian pharmacy workplace. You will be required to go through a structured practical training program under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist for a period of time determined by the provincial or territorial pharmacy regulatory authority.
