Some one advice me not to continue with my application for PR that there is no job for doctors canada. I am about to send my full document to visa office. Should I go ahead or should I claim my money back.
I need some one to tell me the possibility of getting residency. How early can I get this and what time does it take. What else can a doctor do to survive. Please help with any help you can. I am really depressed by the news
I am a nigerian citizen , who graduated with MBBS in nigeria, 5years of medical experience with 3years of residency in surgery. I am in second year of an online masters degree in surgery university of edinburgh. I am a member royal college of surgeon of edinburgh(MRCS).
Please help, I really want to further my studies in canada. Postgraduate surgery is not developed in nigeria
Can my aspiration of doing surgery posible in canada. Or can any other be posible for me . Please help. I have been demoralized by the thread about medical doctor posted by qorax
My wife is a Medical doctor and I have spent time researching this a bit; Confirmedimmigrant' response is excellent just that I would say nothing is impossible depending on circumstances. It is worth giving a fight if you have financial support, you can start the exams before moving over to Canada (get the Toronto notes and read like mad).
Surgery is super competitive, too many brilliant and ambitious people are going this way just like you. The few residency positions available are quickly snapped up by those that attended med school in Canada. The Saudi govt sponsors their people to do residency in Canada and officially pay to get them into those positions (talk of building the future of their country), so they also take away some of the leftover positions leaving maybe 1 position that several foreign trained docs will struggle to get...the rest of course is history. It is a bad cycle!
But I am sure you can get in if you are very good like the next best thing to Bill Gates (or close) and I am serious. You will get it if this is what you want but you must be willing to pay the price of extreme preparations.
Get on google and look into CARMS for details of the requirements and how early you can get in. Start with a positive mental attitude and avoid losing the battle when you have not stepped out to fight.
All the best..
