Question?

[canadianforlife]

Hey, guys I have a question I was wondering are D.Os allowed to practice/compete for a residency in Canada? I haven't really seen alot of DOs in Canada? So I wondering if they are allowed to practice in Canada does anyone know what we do to get back into Canada? Thanks :)

Here is a link of international practice rights for DO's. If you scroll down to Canada, it will state that DO's have an unlimited scope of practice (except saskatchewan and it's undertermined in newfoundland), so yes they are allowed to be full-fledged physicians in Canada ( i dont know why they are separate for each region?). As for the process of working there, you will have to do your own research, but I am guessing it's similar as a FMG trying to practice in the US.
