A new CPSO pathway is opening more doors for internationally trained specialists to practise in Ontario — and this is BIG news for physician recruitment across the province.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) has introduced a new pathway that may allow eligible specialists from approved international jurisdictions to obtain a Provisional Certificate of Registration without Royal College certification.
For eligible specialists trained and certified in jurisdictions including Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Ireland, this creates a new opportunity to bring your skills and experience to Ontario.
Want to know if you qualify?
Eligibility depends on your specialty, training and certification. Visit CPSO to review the requirements and determine whether this pathway may apply to you.
