Hi, everybody, I have applied for immigration to Canada this year.
I am working as emergency specialist in Hong Kong now
I searched the internet and read through all the regulations about the International Medical Graduate who has to pass their MCCEE and MCCQE before they can get a internship inside the hospital.
I wonder whether it is difficult to get a similar job or family doctor in Canada (Vancouver or Burnaby)
Is doctor still a demanding job in Canada?
Any information / personal experience provided by all of you?
Thanks!

Thanks a lot!
The main worry is the tough competition with other fresh medical graduates across canada for residency post. Most of the hospitals, I searched from internet, reluctant to take over IMG doctor, for protection of their own Canadian doctors.

Thanks!
I searched most of  the related websites already. Even some of the local Canadian doctors could not find a residency! Ironically, the hospitals are still in shortage of doctors manpower!
At least up to five figures of IMG doctors are still waiting for the residency. I don't know whether the information from the web is updated or not, but it is, as you mentioned. really discouraging!
So actually, according to all of you people, is doctor still demanding or actually overcrowding?
It seems to me the government policy is contradicted to the actual situation, isn't it?

Oh! my god! I better have to prepare myself, psychologically and financially.....

So most of the doctors you consulted, both in the hospitals and clinics, are local Canadian origin?
Any doctor immigrated from Hong Kong to Canada and still practising as a doctor?

Oh... the chance of getting a license back is very dimmed...
Any idea about "how much saving is needed in order to say that"s enough?" in Canada?
(e.g. In Hong Kong, one needs HK$30,000,000 before he/she could retire while maintaining present life quality)

that's the reason why the life/living quality after retirement in most of hongers is sub-standard. They've to cut / lower their living standard since HK Government does not have any support to these groups.
