Good evening. We are a couple of physicians, both young (26 and 25 years old)and with a proper profile for migration. My wife is applying to a M.Sc. and consequently a study permit. Despite having more than the necessary money (for almost 2 years of living and tuition) due to our savings, we don't have properties or some kind of strong tie to our country (Ecuador).
Do you think this could be a problem for our visa application?
Any advice?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Option 1
Initially She will apply only for herself and that mean your will stay here that's the strong ties to home for her.
second one your family is strong tie for her.

When her Sp will approve then after she will go there and after 6 months you will apply your application as her spouse, So her study permit will also neat and clean plus you will go there for sure.


Option 2
Both will apply but in that case she don't have strong ties to home so rejection chances are high.

Do you think there is a way to explain everything in the letter of explanation? Or any other thing I can do? We are going to apply at the same time :(

strong ties to home country is only look upon when your profiles are suspected and with average satisfactory backgrounds.
you are both physicians and that is already a strong argument that you are both trusted individuals.
the only thing she need is to explain and declare that you will follow the immigration laws and that her future plans is to specialize in her profession
and come back to your home country.
your wife can apply student permit as the main applicant while you can apply for open work permit together as long as your funds meet the IRCC requirements.
besides they need now more than ever healthcare workers specially in this time of pandemic.

The fact that they are physicians doesn’t mean anything for immigration. Lots of corrupt physicians out there.


IMGs are not able to practice so they aren’t given special treatment because of the pandemic. A large percentage of IMGs never practice medicine again because they can’t get licensed.

The fact that your spouse is applying for a masters vs college degree helps you but a masters is not the normal step after medical after medical school. You will have to explain why she has chosen to do a masters and not residency and how that will benefit her when she returns home. Having 2 medical school grads not pursue residency and come to Canada doesn’t really make sense and screams immigration versus genuine student. Because she is doing a masters the fact that it doesn’t make much sense may be overlooked. Assume you have looked at how difficult it is for IMGs to get licensed in Canada and it is primarily due to the lack of residency spots. Specialists can also have difficulty finding a job once they graduate. The wait times in Canada are primarily due to budget Issues.

LOL...so you think physicians can bet on their reputation when it comes to visa? and found to be corrupt in canada? where's your source or data?
if you think a lot are corrupt then what more those with degrees lower than physicians like yours and mine.

Master degrees in Medicine are not rare. In fact, young doctors are encourage to get masters degrees (it's like specialization in their field interest)
Foreign-grad doctors when given open work permit are not automatically given license in Canada. Yes.
But they can work and help the healthcare sectors in certain jobs not necessarily needing license.

Being a physician does not make you trustworthy to an immigration agent. A physician‘s application will be viewed like anyone else. They don’t get special treatment. A neurologist I’ve seen just got charged for more sexual assaults last month. Luckily I only saw him a couple of times and was not assaulted. There are bad and good people in every profession. Having more schooling does not make you a better person.

Another example of a physician who shouldn’t be trusted but I could find many more: https://www.cp24.com/news/doctor-accused-of-injecting-teen-with-birth-control-drug-after-paying-for-sex-police-1.3629801

Masters degrees after medical school are actually very rare. Some students, especially in Canada where getting into medical school is extremely difficult, do a masters degree before starting medical school. I think what you are referring to is a fellowship which is specialization after a physician has completed their residency. Fellowship and masters are very different things. There are almost no jobs in healthcare that don’t require a license. I don’t think they want to work as a porter.

healthcare assistants needs only certifications to land jobs in Canada if medical license is hard to get.
