[sreelakshmi s]

im a doctor by profession My IELTS (General training) first attempt is: W R S L: 6.5,6,6,7.5 Overall: 6.5 . will i be eligible to immigrate to canada and opt any other job temporarily till i get the license from mcc to practice there? i have heard its good to score 7 7 7 8 for doctors... but is it mandatory in case of immigration...?will i be rejected due to this low ielts score alone? whats the minimum ielts score required to immigrate?please reply

well its not about minimum score in ielts. in last round, cut off score was 471. For a foreign applicant to reach that score, 8777 band in ielts is almost a necessity,otherwise pnp remains the only option

PNP is not an option for physicians. What kind of physician are you? Where did you do your school and training? A few countries don’t require repeat of residencies. Relicensing is very hard for most IMGs and only a fraction are able to practice in Canada but for some specialties it is almost impossible. You will need strong language skills to get EE and to be able to pass your licensing exams.

IMGs should really consider moving to another country if they want to keep practicing. Other countries want more doctors and make it much easier to get licensed.
