Re: Moving
Its a highly competitive profession in Canada, and the country is not short of pharmacist in main population centers.
The job opportunities are slightly different from UK. There are not many individual high street pharmacists like the UK.
Its best way to learn is to come over for a holiday and talk to the pharmacist in Canada.

Re: Moving
Welcome to BE
May I suggest your husband reads the following link from the Canadian Pharmacist Association. It may well answer a lot of your questions .............
https://www.pharmacists.ca/pharmacy-...sts-in-canada/
The information on this site seems to be aimed at foreign pharmacists wishing to immigrate into Canada ..............
Finding a pharmacist job in Canada - Prepare For Canada
You have to be aware that there is no central registry in Canada for pharmacists, or for most other professionals.
Each province has its own professional body, and you need to contact them to find out whether your husband's qualifications are OK or whether he needs to do any further studies to be accredited.
The Ontario Pharmacists Association might be a good site to begin ...........
