help landed doctor

[TJ2010]

Can people let us think about some way forward and alternative instead of lamenting on the canadian issues for doctors. Since we all dont want to quit our ambition to get out to a better environment and there is difficulty for doctors in canada, can we see our we can get to do residency i the US aafter landing in canada.

Someone has suggested this. Can we exploit this alternative. Canada is not far from the US, we shuttle between the two. Is it easy for a canadian PR to enter US for holiday, exams etc. If its easy then we have no problem again. we can easily go in and out of US write USMLE and get residency slot. After the program we can easily go back to canada for those who still want canada. But I dont know how easy for PR to enter US.

another issue is that , can one US licence or residency tranning to work in the US.

If you are from a visa exempted country of USA, then you can travel to & fro USA - Canada after getting your PR Card. Otherwise you have to get a US visit visa (B2) which may not be so easy as you think, and perhaps not at all possible for an year from landing in Canada. If you have sufficient proof to establish the US consulate in Canada that you will return to Canada within the time allowed, then there are possibilities for getting a visa. Still you have to try your luck!!. Can't predict anything positive about this issue.

as much as i know u can easily get a multiple entry visa for to and fro between USA Canada.....this is far easier than to get a h1/h2,b1/2 from anywhere in Asia ....so cheer up

I dont really know how hard it is for foreign doctors to get a license in canada, but I think both US and canada system are the same.. you have to go thru the process of taking the exams and waiting for residency training placement. You must have alot of money to do all of that too. So, why not just go with the system in Canada and hope for the best. Besides, while in canada you can look for other jobs while waiting. I have classmates in med school who are there already and doing good in their practice.
