We’re making the path to permanent residence simpler for international medical doctors to support a stable health care system for Canadians by offering doctors
• 5 options to get permanent residence through Express Entry and regional, provincial and territorial programs
• faster 14-day work permit processing for medical doctors nominated by a province or territory, so they can work while waiting for permanent residence

Medical doctors can also include their family members in their application.
