Hi, wondering if anyone has moved to the West side of Vancouver, or North Van with teens In the middle of secondary school, and wondering how they did with the transition, how welcoming kids were, etc. TIA!
Hello,
Has any non-US citizen here in this group applied for an LMIA-exempt work permit from within the USA (outside Canada)? How long did the processing take?
TIA
I just received my BC PNP nomination and am applying for my work permit. I have a EM job offer with Fraser Health. My husband is a Canadian citizen but my application is under my own job offer and BC PNP nomination, as that’s what Fraser Health wanted me to do.
Is this the correct category for my work permit? I applied via the non EE pathway.
TIA
Hi everyone. I'm moving to the Vancouver area in the next couple of months. Im looking for recommendations on a cross border CPA. Does anyone have one that they can recommend?
Hey everyone,
I am a Family Physician based in Vancouver. We currently operate a physician owned clinic in Vancouver with a patient base of 13,000 and are in the process of opening a new 3,000-square-foot multidisciplinary medical centre in Vancouver by the end of 2026.
The new facility will include a combination of specialist physicians, family physicians, an on-site pharmacy and diagnostic services such as ECG and Holter monitoring. We are looking to welcome a select number of specialists to join the centre. Our intention is to customize each clinical space according to the specific needs and workflow of each specialist.
Our vision is to create a friendly and collegial environment and we are looking for like minded people who may be interested in providing some of their clinical hours at this location.
Feel free to drop me a DM and I would be happy to discuss the opportunity further at your convenience. We will also be working with Healthmatch BC and the Vancouver FP division to help streamline the process.
For people who were unable to get their employer/ residency program write the ref letter in the format ircc wants (with duties, hours, salary) all in one documents, can you tell me what has worked? Alternative documents? Someone other than the program director who was willing to do it? Any insights are appreciated. Thank you
I just received invitation to apply today. From my understanding, I have to submit reference letters from my employers. I have had only 1 job so far after residency for 3.5 years. Do I have to submit reference letters from residency program too? I had added residency under work experience in my express entry and BC PNP application.
And if you have any questions about the application process, license etc., please free to contact me.
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm an ABIM-certified internal medicine physician and I recently submitted my Application for Medical Registration (AMR) on PhysiciansApply.ca to begin the licensing process with CPSBC. Shortly after, CPSBC reached out to confirm they received my application successfully.
They've now asked me to complete identity verification, specifically a passport, photo, and signature. My question for anyone who’s been through this process: do these need to be submitted separately and directly to CPSBC, or does an existing FCVS account (which I set up for US licensing purposes) cover this? I know FCVS handles identity verification as part of its credential package, so I’m hoping it might carry over.
Would love to hear from any IMGs or physicians who’ve navigated the CPSBC/PhysiciansApply process, especially if you came from a US licensure background.
Thanks in advance! 🙏
