Family doctor

[Gemini020]

Hi all,
I'm doing some research for my bother, hoping to convince him and his wife to move here (I'm in BC). Does anyone know if he'd need to take an exam to be able to practice here? He's trained in the Netherlands and has been a family doctor in New Zealand for 3-4 years and they are all NZ permanent residents (brother and his wife) or citizen (their daughter).
Thanks in advance

Yes - he'll need to go through a certification to be able to work as a doctor in Canada. Typically this process takes a few years. He should research what it will take before immigrating.
