The province of Nova Scotia has created a new immigration stream to attract general practitioners, family physicians, and specialist physicians.
The new Physician Stream is only open to general practitioners and family physicians (NOC 3112) and specialist physicians (NOC 3111) with a job offer approved by either the Nova Scotia Health Authority or the Izaak Walton Killam Health Centre (IWK), which is based in the province’s capital city, Halifax.
The stream is designed to expedite the immigration process for physicians by reducing the amount of paperwork involved
