I accepted and paid the CanAm consultation fee for the assessment of my credentials to determine suitability for licence in Canada. The information provided was genuine and extremely helpful. The Answers I received were honest and clear. 100% satisfied.
Getting ready to move and work in Canada can be quite an overwhelming process and I honestly don’t think that it would have happened as quickly or as smoothly if it wasn’t for Phil Jost. I moved over from the UK on my own in 2008, but Phil was there for me every step of the way. From the very first telephone conversation he was able to assess my credentials and provide me with accurate information with regards to licensing and where I could practice as a family physician in Canada. Phil has extensive experience in working with physicians and keeps himself informed on any new developments that could affect his clients. He maintains a strong working relationship with colleagues in the Department of Health and at the College of Physicians and Surgeons and was also able to liase with them on my behalf. The immigration process is tedious but he made regular phone calls to me to see how it was going and was always available when I needed advice. He is incredibly efficient in his work, has a good understanding of the indvidual’s needs, is encouraging and extremely patient. After arriving in Canada I was introduced to his family who welcomed me and became my first friends here. He was able to advise me on most things from buying a car to where to buy the best snow gear. After living in Canada for over two years he still checks up on me and makes himself available and approachable. He has and continues to remain genuinely interested in me as well as my family’s welfare. I am very grateful to him for his huge efforts, he truly goes above and beyond, and would recommend him wholeheartedly without any reservation.
Its a pleasure to discuss the professional and personal merit of CanAm Physician Recruiting, Inc. I have known them for more than 6 years. I came to Canada from Australia in 2004 and I had the worst experience of my life as the recruiting firm that I was dealing with didn’t know the licensing of physicians in Canada. But thankfully my CV was represented by Mr John (CanAm)and my career got on the right path. The professional approach of CanAm is in my opinion the BEST in Canada. Their dealing with physicians is excellent, in true words they are the people who know the criteria to be licensed in Canada for a physician who is not trained here in this country. Keep up the good work guys. FayyazKhan,MD. Staff Anaesthesiologist &B.P.H.C.C.
Very impressed with the service at CanAm Physician Recruiting. I was in a very difficult job situation (and visa situation) and John Philpott helped me to get a job in a few days in Nova Scotia. I had million other questions besides the job (visa, insurance, who to call..) and John was always available, and give me the info in a timely manner (within hours!). I never experienced similar exceptional service before with any of the job recruiter agencies in the US. I would rate him as AAA+++
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to John Philpott and his team for establishing a recruiting firm that has helped numerous physicians navigate the complexity of Medical licensure in Canada. I practice in a rural demographic where IMG’s are a crucial element in ensuring an adequate physician supply. John’s team have the experience and expertise that have allowed many of my colleagues to attain licensure and settle comfortably into the Canadian medical milieu. The attention to detail,a personal touch and close follow up are a testimony to the high standards that John Philpott has set as a foundation of his company. I would advise any physician wishing to set up practice in Canada to take full advantage of this outstanding firm. You will not be disappointed.
Even though I have never met Warren and John in person, they were always there when needed, they helped me since day 1, finding the right job, adjusting my CV, tips for the phone interview, and through the whole licensing and immigration process. Warren called me in several occasions even without being asked, he even picked up an envelope for me himself when no one was there. I Just want to thank you all for all your help, I can easily say that coming to Canada would not have happened without your help.
At the time I made up my mind for a move to practice in Ontario, I first contacted Phil Jost who directed me to call Hedi Cameron who is in charge of Canam Recruiting operations in Ontario. I am glad he did because right from the time I gave Hedi a phone call about my plans to get registered in Ontario, she immediately got the ball rolling and made what was a difficult process an easy one. Hedi worked and guided me through the application which was quite demanding, by her numerous pieces of advice and tips through e-mails and phone calls. She never for once kept me waiting for answers to questions I raised during the process. E-mails were responded to and phone calls were promptly returned. While guiding me through the registrations with CPSO, she also helped me in looking for practices from which I eventually picked one. She stood by me up to the point of signing the contract with the owners of the practice I chose to work from. All through the process, Hedi was very professional and she demonstrated a deep knowledge of the issues involved in helping physicians get registered with the CPSO, relocate and practise in Ontario. It is without reservation that I recommend Hedi to any physician with plans to register and work in Ontario. Many thanks to you Hedi.
From the moment I contacted Canam I received expert, knowledgeable advice and ongoing professional, proactive support that resulted in a smooth transition to my new physician practice in Newfoundland. The guidance I received from CanAm got results in a much shorter time, and with fewer of the worry and hassles experienced by many of my colleagues who didn’t have the CanAm advantage. I am very happy with my choice of CanAm and highly recommend their services to any physician seeking the opportunity to work in Canada.
Dear Phil I always follow with enthusiasm your news letter, thank you for giving us the feel of Canada recruitment and keep them coming please. Keep well, many regards, Dr. Julio C Gonzalez
CanAm Recruiting has been great to work with from day one! I can alway rely on a quick response regarding my recruitment needs. We have recruited three full-time permanent physicians in a 6 month time period from CanAm, as well as one locum physician, all in different specialties. These physicians were very well qualified and have worked out nicely. Unlike other agencies, CanAm seems to really understand the recruitment process and builds a relationship with both the physician and the health authority. Such a relationship does not often exist in other agencies.
Eastern Health has been working with CanAm Physician Recruiting Inc. for 16 years. CanAm staff are knowledgeable about the licensure requirements for NL, immigration requirements, and the challenges potential candidates may face when moving to rural hospitals. Candidates identified are fully researched and vetted to ensure adherence to requirements of positions. All interactions are conducted professionally and in a timely manner.
Our Department recently underwent a major transition with the opening of a new ED structure, a new Medical School, implementation of a new academic funding plan, and significant augmentation of clinical staff. We have been successful in recruiting over a dozen new emergency physicians, several of whom were direct referrals from Mr. Jost and CanAm. CanAm services have been exemplary through an approach that involves extensive research, careful matching of clients and physicians, an intimate knowledge of the health care industry both locally and internationally, and a work ethic that simply does not quit. I have found Mr. Jost to be forthright, professional, and reliable, an excellent communicator, and willing to adapt to our needs and requests. Our new physicians hired through his services have fit in extremely well on the medical, interpersonal and family life fronts, and are among the best in the field. I certainly would recommend the services of CanAm Physician Recruiting Inc., and Mr. Phil Jost without reservation.
