Employers recruiting foreign physicians are finding that ignorance of changing Canadian government regulations can be a very costly mistake – and a heartbreaker for foreign doctors and their families….
The increasing complexity associated with the pathways that foreign physicians
must follow to legally start work in Canada is now littered with veritable
regulatory landmines.
Stringent government regulation now dictates to potential employers where they
must post employment ads, how many ads they must post, what wording must be
contained in the ads, and how long the ads must be posted.
Many private medical clinic owners and provincial health regions have already
waited weeks for permission from the Government of Canada to recruit a much
needed physician – only to receive an official letter bluntly stating that
permission to recruit has been denied due to an incomplete technicality.
In one instance, the employer of a hopeful foreign physician made mistakes on a
Service Canada application – on three different occasions! These errors led to
more than eight weeks of delays, and during the interim a qualified Canadian
applied for the same job, bumping the unlucky foreign physician out of his job.
Another foreign physician actually came and worked in Canada for three months
before Immigration Canada found an inadvertent error by his employer on his
work permit, resulting in the immediate cancellation of the permit – which sent
the physician scrambling back to the UK to get back to work.
To avoid these types of costly and heartbreaking events, CanAm highly
recommends that any Canadian employer or foreign physician considering opening
a career pathway into Canada,– should do their research and invest in a
reputable, up to date and professional recruitment firm with a proven track
record in international and domestic medical recruitment.
