It used to incredibly easy to get PR as pharmacist leading to a huge volume of pharmacists coming to Canada which is one of the largest contributing factor to the surplus. This is why pharmacists aren’t part of most PNP programs. What is your CRA score?
I am a pharmacist interested in migrating to Canada, so from the Siawa's answer on August 5 2024.
I can coclude that pharmacists are not part of PNP programs anymore (very few if any)?
And that actually there is a surplus of pharmacists in Canada ?
The road of less resistance to Canada will be to get PEBC licensing (very hard work), then get a job offer and work permit and after that, apply for Canadian PR. (If one does not have enough CRS points for express entry).
An applicant's CRS score needs to be 520 or above for express entry?

Yes. Also posted salaries online are often very inflated and not representative of true salaries.
