Graduate Student of Medicine

[Olivea2018]

Good day!

A friend of mine would like to immigrate from Chile to Canada. He Graduate medical school in Cuba as a family physician and would like to practice medicine in Canada. He still needs to do his residency. How can he best apply to come to Canada.
Thank you kindly

It is very hard and expensive to become a doctor as a foreign trained physician. Most are not able to practice medicine even if they pay for and pass all their licensing exams in Canada. Your friends would have to immigrate like any other economic immigrant. Sounds like he may have no work experience and that is one requirement. I would look up more information about IMG (international medical graduates) in Canada. I would discourage the move if he wants to be a doctor. Also you need to research the various immigration programs.
