How to Apply / Next Steps
This is a confidential, no-pressure process. Initial conversations are exploratory and focused on understanding whether Alberta is the right fit for you professionally and personally.
  
Interested candidates are encouraged to connect for an informal discussion before any formal application or submission.
  
Licensure Pathway – Commonwealth-Trained Family Physicians
Physicians trained in Commonwealth countries may be eligible for licensure in Alberta through established pathways. Eligibility and timelines vary based on training, experience, and documentation.
  
Typical pathway considerations include:

• Review of postgraduate Family Medicine training
• Assessment of practice history and recent clinical experience
• Eligibility for provisional or practice-ready licensure routes
• College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) approval
• Immigration/work authorization (where applicable)

  
Many candidates can begin the licensure process before relocating, and clinics are familiar with supporting internationally trained physicians through this journey.
What support is available:

• Initial eligibility guidance before any formal application
• Transparent discussion of realistic timelines and requirements
• Clinic familiarity with CPSA processes
• Coordination with immigration advisors where needed
• No upfront commitment required to explore eligibility

  
Important note:
Licensure outcomes are determined solely by CPSA. Early conversations are exploratory and designed to assess feasibility—not to pressure candidates into relocating.
If you are unsure whether you qualify, that’s expected. A brief discussion can clarify whether Alberta is a realistic option before you invest time or money.
