Immigration Information

Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents of Canada are given priority on all vacancies in the Province of British Columbia. As there is a great need for qualified physicians in British Columbia, international physicians may be considered for available positions if they are eligible for registration. They will provide specialized assistance and information on:

• General Immigration information for international physicians
• The College of Physicians & Surgeons of BC registration process
• The process of obtaining a temporary work visa
