American wants to move TO Canada

[torontobound2006]

Reba I went to the website you suggested but it only mentioned skill laborers, not professionals. I am sure there will be plenty of job openings for me once I get up there. I am a Special Needs teacher with English as a Second Language experience. I need to know where to go to find the information for professionals that I need to move to Canada. If any one else has any suggestions, emial me at torontobound2006@yahoo.com

Hello all,

I am writing to find out how long does it take for an American to receive her pernament residency papers in order move up here. She is educated has a BA, state certified optician. If anyone can let me know how long this process would take and if there is anyway to speed up the process.

Thanks,
CanAm78

Canada is in dire need of doctors, have you considered medical school?

You are right Reba Canada is in dire need of doctors but whose going to fight the bureaucracy, my sister is a medical doctor from Pakistan, she spend 2 years trying to get in finally gave up, did her USMLE and moved to the US this is her 3rd year 1 more year of residency left.

I personally know of at least 4-5 doctors who came from different countries but then decided to move to the US because its simple their and very complicated and time consuming in Canada.

Depends which country you get your medical degree in. Unfortunately for Canadian citizens, the government does not recognise a lot of country's degrees, but they do some others. I believe that medical degrees from the US are on par with their requirements.

I've worked in factories with doctors. It's a stupid immigration law that needs to be fixed. And each new PM says they're going to, and they never get round to it.
