If this is a fellowship in medicine I believe it counts under education. The bigger issue is even if you are allowed to practice medicine as a fellow in Canada you won’t be licensed to practice medicine in Canada if you immigrate. You will need to try to get relicensed. Unless you did your medical training in a few select countries like the US, UK, Australia, South Africa, NZ and Ireland (think that’s all the countries) you’ll need to pass your licensing exams and repeat your residency or do a supervised training in exchange for working in an underserviced community that is only currently available in a few provinces for GPs and there are limited spots. In most specialties it isn’t possible to get relicensed because there are no residency spots available. If you speak French fluently your chances are a bit better but there is very high competition for leftover residency spots and the residency spots leftover are usually the less sought after residencies and locations. Things like GPs, pathology, public health, psychiatry are often the most common residency spots leftover. Canada is one of the most difficult countries to get licensed as an IMG.
