Got PR after my fellowship .
Hello PedDoc, Did you get work experience points for your clinical fellowship period. I have a friend who did his clinical fellowship in Toronto for 1 year and then went back to his country. Now he is applying for express entry. Can he claim points for his clinical fellowship?

Congrats!!
So you had a PR before getting the fellowship?
Hi, I am just creating my profile. Could you please advice me as to what all should I mention in my Study History.

I completed my Bachelor of Medicine and then my PHD (however PHD is called Fellowship) from saudi. Got my ECA done and they have assessed my Bachelor's degree equivalent to Doctor of Medicine and making a note that "acceptable alternative documentation in support of medical degree qualification was received".

So, should I just provide details about my Bachelors which is assessed equivalent to Doctor of Medicine?? Will that be enough or should I provide more details?

Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
You could receive an ita since you have a skilled profession and get pr but once in the country you would have to make a living out of something else or star over

Tariq Nawaz, Calculate your points though point calculator provided by CIC or CanadaVisa. Principal Candidate will be decided on higher points.
By the way, Have you done ECA for yourself and for your spouse? Secondly, what is IELTS score?

Hi dear ultra..thanx..
I understand that i will have to go thru competency exam before practicing as a physician. In canada,but do i need to pass the examfor getting immigration..NO.
i know that job or carrier switch can be alternative..lets reformate it as,having not passed the competency exam poses anything negative for getting immigration? NO
You can apply for PR anytime without qualifying exam.

I am not a doctor and neither do I know much about this profession. However, I know plenty of doctors getting PR without passing tests. They are required to pass exams to get a job and that's where many fail. I heard from them that Canada exams are one of the most difficult in the world for doctors.

I have seen in the recent past that CIC loves NHS UK doctors with 5 Years or more experience.

The good news is Government has allocated dozens of million dollar for newcomer to get them licenced.
