Hey everyone, just wondering if there are any of you out there that can provide any solid information about the rules and regs of practising Midwifery in Canada? I understand there is a bridging qualification to do but still don't seem to be able to get any consistent information in regards to how long it is, where you study from etc etc. I know its a pretty new profession over there and that not all provinces recognise it but at the moment I seem to be hitting a brick wall, the Canadian Midwives Association have been bombarded with emails from me but as yet, I haven't had a single reply!

PS if I have put this in the wrong place on the forum, please accept my apologies! (I am a newbie!)

Welcome to BE, I see you have made your way to the Canadian section so hopefully you are getting the advice and support you need.

Thank you MrsFychan

Just hope someone knows the answers - I keep checking my emails with anticipation haha! Ive just emailed Multi-jurisdictional Midwifery Bridging Program in Vancouver in the hope that SOMEONE will finally respond!

Fingers crossed!

Hi ukmidwife and warm to the forum. Hope you find all the answers you need in the Canada forum. They're a good bunch of folks in there. Happy planning

Hello and a big welcome to BE.

Excellent information can be found in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, another set of great help is the permanent threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading.

Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font.

Please contact me if I can give you any further help.
