Well, yes there are one or two jobs available in the whole of Canada. Care to be a bit more specific? Which area and what kind of job?

So can I quickly ask, did you guys do the CAMRT exam before / after / during getting a PR.

I read that there website had a jobs database for members on it, but I'm guessing if heidi is having trouble its not as good as all that, so next question.

Once passing CAMRT, did you reigster for multiple provinces of interest and hope to find a job in one, or look for a job then apply to that provinces gov body if you found one?

OK, well I'd suggest you start your own thread as this is about radiology, that way more people with experience of your occupation will answer as well.

Jobs, depends on the province. Not many full time jobs in Ontario.

I was thinking of doing that, but with target areas being BC, which I believe is register after CAMRT and Ontario, which as you say is Pre-CAMRT, I think I'm looking at a logistical nightmare of test taking!

Did you take the test in the UK or go to Canada? I've seen mixed reports on other websites whether or not we can take the test here (financially thats the best option for me, but I'll never knock a trip to Canada!)

Rather ironically I saw a perm full time Interventional/Rotational position in Hamilton a few months ago, that would have been perfect for me!

There will be quite a few radiographer jobs up for grabs in BC shortly.

You are almost certainly right. I know nothing about this - a bit like the people employed in BC hospitals.
