Can foreign doctors work in Canada without PR?<\/strong><br data-start=\"5036\" data-end=\"5039\" \/>Yes, doctors can work on a temporary permit if they have a job offer and meet licensing requirements.

Is Indian MBBS valid in Canada?<\/strong><br data-start=\"5240\" data-end=\"5243\" \/>Yes, if the university is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools.

How long does it take to become a licensed doctor in Canada?<\/strong><br data-start=\"5450\" data-end=\"5453\" \/>The process can take 2\u20135 years, depending on specialty, exam results, and residency completion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5552\" data-end=\"5722\"><strong data-start=\"5552\" data-end=\"5604\">4. Do doctors need IELTS to immigrate to Canada?<\/strong><br data-start=\"5604\" data-end=\"5607\" \/>Yes, most pathways require proof of English or French proficiency. IELTS is used for English, and TEF for French.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5724\" data-end=\"5929\"><strong data-start=\"5724\" data-end=\"5776\">5. Which province is best in Canada for doctors?<\/strong><br data-start=\"5776\" data-end=\"5779\" \/>Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia, and Saskatchewan have high demand.
