IRCC orientation for international medical doctors. Not a fourth Express Entry program. Doctors still enter the pool through FSW, CEC, or FST, then may also meet a category or a PNP.

• Points to Express Entry, including a category for medical doctors with at least 1 year of full-time Canadian work as a medical doctor in the last 3 years.
• Also points to provincial and territorial nomination, including reserved federal PNP spaces for doctors with a job offer or letter of support.
• Credential assessment and provincial or territorial licensure sit in front of practice.

Still one of the three federal programs
