Re: Upfront Medicals and a TWP

The main applicant is my wife, who's a GP. Her medicals were fine. It's me who got flagged, and the plan is that I apply for an open work permit at the POE. I'm assuming a problem with my medical...

Re: Upfront Medicals and a TWP

Thank you so much! This is a huge relief to us. We're already under pressure to arrange the move in a short time-frame (with a baby who just turned one, and a winter-time-move). So when this thing...

Re: Skills Immigration - Health Care Professionals, or Express Entry pathway?

Thanks.
I still don't know if it's PNP EE or PNP paper based application, I'll contact Health Match for some clarification.
We were under the impression that the PNP/TWP is an easier process. In...

Re: Skills Immigration - Health Care Professionals, or Express Entry pathway?

Thanks. I wonder why does getting the PR take so long with a TWP, one would think that it should be faster than starting from scratch/abroad. Is there any way to expedite things, or is this just the...

Re: Skills Immigration - Health Care Professionals, or Express Entry pathway?

We haven't discussed the LMIA, as HealthMatch only advise the PNP pathway. Only thing I know about it is that the job should be advertised for at least 4 weeks prior to the letter. See Step 16B on...

Re: Skills Immigration - Health Care Professionals, or Express Entry pathway?

Thank you for clarifying this. If a PR should be obtained within 18 months of landing in Canada under a TWP, I assume it's not too bad? I don't know what an employment contract will look like, and...

Re: Skills Immigration - Health Care Professionals, or Express Entry pathway?

Thank you. So, I'm guessing that means that the PNP is the quicker way in to Canada. :thumbup:

re: Chat for and with Canadian Family Practitioners/ex UK General Practitioners

Agreed, of course.



If enough doctors will move south, or elsewhere, it most likely will.

re: Chat for and with Canadian Family Practitioners/ex UK General Practitioners

However, it is a matter of fact, rather than opinion,...
