		|  |  |  | I´m a physician specialist in internal medicine by postgraduate diploma from Alexandria University.  My experience is about 21 years (I´m 47 years old). I´m Egyptian and I moved to Israel after I married Israeli Arab lady.  When I moved to Israel I had to pass exam for qualification skills and certificates. Because I was 14 years of experience I passed another kind of exam:  face to face exam with 3 persons committee (3 doctors from the ministry of health). I passed this exam and got permission and license to work in Israel. Physicians who had less than 14 years experience  must pass the standard boring exam. 
 I have three children 8, 5, 2 years old. We intend to move to Canada. But I need to know if I have to pass all the process I had in Israel? Do I have to pass the regular test? Or because I?m 21 years experience I don´t? Or there is another process? I´ll be very grateful for supplying me any information about this.
 
 Thank you very much and have a nice day!
 
 Best regards,
 Dr. Ibrahim

     | physicians exams (in reply to: physician exam's qualification) I think you have not received an answer up until now because there is nobody at this forum that has a confirmed answer. Canada is desperate for doctors but I believe they might need you to pass certain exams. (I know, it seems crazy) Your best chance for a correct answer is to contact the Canadian College of Physicians and Surgeons.  I hope you have success.

     | Canadian Physician Qualifications (in reply to: physician exam's qualification) Dr. Ibrahim,  Did you ever get the answers you needed? Because it seems that although Canada needs physicians the doors seem to be shut tight.
