You took right descision to migrate to Canada... Just browse cic web site -> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.html
start your Permanent Resident processing... and then after 3 years of saty in Canada - you can become citizen. I believe it will take 4-5 years in India to become PR and then 4 years to become Citizen.

transfering your medical credentials is a challenge. I would contact the college of physicans and surgeons to determine what would be expected of you before you could practice medicine.

Hi George,
Pls don´t be discouraged by my post, but I just wanted to give you my opinion....
In the USA, with your post-graduation you would need to spend anywhere between 3-5 yrs before you can practice as you have to give various tests and get certified. I´m sure Canada has if not more, atleast the same entry procedure in the medical profession. Now, for the PR process you have to allocate 2-3 yrs approx and you are looking at a total of 5-8 yrs going forward. Think abt it carefully before you make a decision.
The best thing would be to contact similar people or institutes who may employ you in Canada to find out first hand what will it take.

gaining licencing in Canada for foriegny doctors is extremely difficult if not almost impossible, might be easier to study medicine again.

George:
Please read the Globe and Mail July 11, 2006 article.
There are many foreign Doctors in Canada, most of them drive Taxi cabs.
Don´t be fooled into making a big mistake. The Canadians love people to immigrate and spend all their life savings in a few short years.
The Canadian employers are not so willing to hire "non-Canadians" and quite frankly, it´s next to impossible and would take many years to get any credentials recognized in Canada.
Even though they claim a shortage of medical professionals in Canada, they have set up every barrier to foreigners taking those positions.

Unsettled: Legal and Policy Barriers for Newcomers to Canada (PDF; 490 KB
Source: Community Foundations of Canada and the Law Commission of Canada
?Immigration has been a key component in the development of Canadian economic, social, and political fabric. Today, Canada is increasingly reliant on immigration for population and labour market growth. As such, it is imperative to ensure that newcomers are able to utilize the skills and resources they bring with them ? for economic gain, for humanitarian reasons, and to continue enriching Canadian culture and society. The difficulties newcomers face as part of their settlement experience must be recognized as Canadian problems rather than as ?immigrant problems;? and they must be addressed and eliminated to the greatest extent possible.?

Canada not welcoming to immigrants, study finds
Program cutbacks slow integration

Canada is undermining the integration of immigrants and contributing to their social isolation despite the fact that the country relies on immigration for population and labour market growth, says a new report obtained by The Globe and Mail.
The latest waves of newcomers are better educated than their predecessors, but they have had a more difficult time obtaining employment, reuniting with their families and getting language training, proper housing and even health services.
Some of the more than three dozen immigrants interviewed said they are worse off than they were in their homelands, according to the report, which was undertaken on behalf of Community Foundations Canada and the Law Commission of Canada.
"I interviewed one woman from Bulgaria whose husband is now back in Bulgaria sending money to support the family here. To waste human resources like this is a crime," says Sarah Wayland, author of Unsettled: Legal and Policy Barriers for Newcomers to Canada, which will be released tomorrow. "To fail at social inclusion also has costs in terms of ethnic and race relations, human rights, the settlement process and mental health."
Every year, between 230,000 and 260,000 immigrants come to Canada. The RBC Financial Group recently found that immigrants who have arrived during the past two decades have had a harder time catching up to their Canadian-born counterparts, a trend attributed in part to cutbacks in settlement programs and difficulty finding work.
One in six young, highly educated male immigrants leaves Canada within a year due to the job market, a 2006 Statistics Canada study shows. "That is quite shocking. Canada should be trying to keep those people," says Ms. Wayland.
Ottawa and the provinces have acknowledged the difficulty immigrants face getting their foreign credentials recognized and have created initiatives to overcome these barriers. The federal Conservatives´ first budget called for the creation of an agency to help foreign professionals integrate into the work force. The Ontario government has announced a $14-million investment in two dozen programs to help foreign-trained professionals and tradespeople upgrade their skills and training.
However, these efforts fail to address other obstacles. The selection system can be onerous, forcing many immigrants to wait a long time for family reunification. The average time to bring in parents and grandparents has increased to as much as a decade, and the federal government is facing a lawsuit that accuses it of discriminating against certain kinds of applicants and causing unacceptable delays.
Other difficulties include lack of access to language classes, according to Faye Wightman, CEO of the Vancouver Foundation, which supports programs for immigrants. Federal funds to teach English and French as second languages have not increased since 1996, and newcomers say the classes are not sophisticated enough.
The study´s conclusions reflect other research that has found a lack of civic engagement among second-generation immigrants. "You cannot assume people are becoming more integrated, the longer they´re here," says Ms. Wayland. "The children of immigrants who grow up here may have a more jaded outlook. Many have experienced discrimination in school or just feel disengaged."
Ms. Wightman says her foundation funds a successful leadership training program for immigrant youths, who then train others. "It was so popular that 90 youth applied for 18 available spaces," she says. "We need more of this."
The study outlines several other recommendations to assist newcomers including the following:
Reduce processing times for immigration and family sponsorships;
Build capacity of educators to meet language needs of immigrant children and youth;
Provide interpreters in hospitals and schools;
Improve access to regulated professions.
It also says prospective immigrants should be given more accurate information about the Canadian job market.
Canada´s selection criteria for skilled workers could also be adjusted. Currently, the system favours highly educated white-collar workers, even though blue-collar workers are needed.

YOU WILL SUCCEED (in reply to: Indian doctor wants to imigrate)
Doctors and Engineers, anyone who wants to immigrate to Canada,Australia or the US of A. Let me tell you this, you should not really get discouraged by what you read in most of the racist comments given to you. Frankly I have done my MBA from University of Technology Sydney, and things were really fine with me. Right now I am working for the Govt in India, as an Assistant Engineer. There are a lot of helpful people anywhere in the world, and at the same time the insecure racists. The world is yours to explore and live, and life just comes once, so do what you want. People: Docs, Engineers etal have been there, are there and are contributing a lot! So just do the formalites and get there, take it one step at a time. Cheers!
