Travel Tips

Canada is notorious for making medical professionals from foreign countries prove their training and qualifications. There is a pharmacy board who regulate approving the qualifications of foreign-qualified workers.

If you are planning to eventually live in Canada, I would check before starting the course in the UK that it will be recognized in Canada.

I understand that Canada offers good salaries for Pharmacists, however, it's unlikely to be as high as the equivalent US position. Also, as so many Pharmacists are employed by companies such as Walmart and Safeway, weekend working will always be a necessity.

Hope this helps.

Pretty much everything in Canada is based off the British system, so yeah, you should be good.

As far as salary, I haven't a clue.
