Physicians with Canadian work experience.

Canada continues to strengthen its healthcare system by attracting qualified medical professionals. Through Express Entry category-based selection, physicians who have gained work experience in Canada may receive targeted invitations to apply for Canada permanent residence (PR).

This category focuses on recognizing the contribution of doctors who are already working within the Canadian healthcare system and helping them transition to permanent residence through Express Entry.

To qualify for the Physicians with Canadian Work Experience category, candidates must meet the following requirements:

• Have at least 12 months of full-time work experience, or the equivalent amount of part-time work experience, gained within the last three years.

• The work experience must be in an eligible physician occupation identified by the Government of Canada.

• The work experience does not need to be continuous.

• The experience must be obtained in Canada.

• Maintain a valid Express Entry profile and meet the eligibility criteria for the respective category-based draw.

Candidates who meet these conditions may be considered during targeted Express Entry draws for physicians with Canadian work experience. Those selected may receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canada PR through the Express Entry system.
