Paigems Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I'm interested in the possibility of getting a job in Canada when I graduate. Is this even possible? Do they even consider U.S. applicants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk732 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Yes they do...you just need to write the national certification exam here. Most job applications you see will have for educational standards "Aproved Canadian or US PA program". It's one way reciprocity we started here to get more numbers and to bring back ex-pats trained in the US. Having said that, there are only a few provinces that use PA's thus far - Manitoba, Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick. If you don't like snow, you're outa luck there.

Bubster Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Agreed with the above post, and in addition, the job listings are few. In Ontario, there are only a handful, usually concentrated around the GTA. - The salaries average $85,000 annually more or less. - Restrictions of the Public Health Care System - Law and regulations are not yet catered to MD-PA partnerships - Billing is an issue for MDs hiring PAs. PAs do not yet have their own billing number Also, in the province of Ontario at least, PAs are neither regulated or licensed professional at this time. There are significant legal and professional limitations as a result Manitoba is more advanced in there regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk732 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 MB PA's have our own union now. Best way to find jobs here is to go to this link: https://healthcareersmanitoba.mua.hrdepartment.com/hr/ats/JobSearch/index/searchType:quick Physician and Clinical Assistants of Manitoba website: http://www.pcam.ca/ SK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
