Can a doctor from canada move to australia?

Question

okay so im 16 right now (from toronto, canada) and i have extremely high grades and im in all advanced classes at school. In a few years i want to go to med school and become a doctor. Ive visited australia 3 times (at 9, 14, 15) and it was the greatest, most beautiful place in the world and i want to live there for the rest of my life. If i were to finish up university in toronto and than move to australia could i go straight to a career right away or would i be held back for jobs because im an imigrant? what would be the downfall in a doctor from canada moving to australia financialy and would there be much oppourtunity?

Answer 1

all-ways after doctors here so when you become one i think you will have no problem at all & a big plus for us is that we will be able to understand what you say(bit hard to understand a lot of DR's that come here from other country's)

Answer 2

Doctors are in HIGH demand in Australia and too be honest in the past 4 years I have not seen an Australian Dr, they are always immigrants!

See the immigration website on information and visa options for doctors and nurses who want to work in Australia.

Answer 3

i am in the same situation as you, for i to wish to become a doctor, yet i want to do it over seas for it is not only more culturaly enriched, but it takes less time to become a doctor. the rules for european doctors is that they have universities where the citizens of all major countries are required to take a massive test, or bachalorea, and score very well in order to get in. It is like a blown up SAT in a way. Anyways, after scoring well enough on this test to get into their university, they then move on the a few years, not the full 4 of american college, of basic education. After this they do not require you go to a seperate school, but you go to a certain faculty within the university and begin your medical training then. The upside is that it not only takes less time to become a doctor there, but it also costs less money. Then, once you have achieved the doctor status, upon reentering your country, mine being american, you must take a test to be able to continue working as a doctor. From what i have heard however, this test is extremely simple, and once you pass it is very easy to find a good job and begin your life. Good Luck!
