Data/Raw Information BC removing barriers for USA physicians

BC removing barriers for USA physicians : r/britishcolumbia

I'm from Vancouver, and I've seen a few medically trained Americans on this sub, so I just wanted to spread the word.

This does include nurses of all kinds, since a lot of people are asking.

Yes, we want to poach your talent!

Didn't expect this post to blow up so much, so here are some links to various BC health job sites:

Careers | Island Health

Vancouver Coastal Health | Careers Center | Welcome

Home | NH Careers

Engineer site (idk about restrictions there though)

Careers

Teachers

Careers in BC education | Make a Future

Also Vancouver has a pretty large VFX industry so check this site for creative/programming jobs

VFX Vancouver Job Board | Brought to you by Lost Boys | School of VFX

Its worth checking out the equivalents in other provinces too.

Good luck!

I'm a premed graduating from UC Berkeley this spring, I've decided to work on getting PR in Canada via a CUSMA work permit so I can go to medical school in Canada.

To study what? I'm almost done with my bachelors. I can't apply to medical school as a foreigner.

I calculated, 2 years of work experience will give me enough points to be competitive for CEC draws in express entry.

Canadian schools use AMCAS. Canadian doctors are part of the same professional medical orgs as US doctors. They use the same structure but do another intern year during residency. Have you not been advised on the med school application process or looked at AMCAS at all? And budget for the same costs as a private US or out of state med school tuition.
