Working alongside physician recruitment organizations

Recruitment Is the Beginning. Successful Settlement Comes Next.

DoctorsToCanada helps physicians and their families complete the financial, administrative, practical, and long-term transition that follows accepting a Canadian medical position.

A complementary partnership

We support the transition without replacing the recruiter.

Recruiters and employers remain focused on the position, licensing, immigration, and community opportunity. DoctorsToCanada focuses on the financial, practical, corporate, tax, and family transition that follows.

From introduction to ongoing support

Referral Process

A simple, defined process makes it easier for the recruiter, the physician, and the DoctorsToCanada team to stay aligned.

Typical partnership workflow

Recruiter introduces the physician with consent
DoctorsToCanada schedules an introductory consultation
The physician's timeline and priorities are reviewed
A personalized transition plan is created
Required professional introductions are coordinated
Progress updates are shared where authorized
Arrival-week priorities are organized
First 90-day setup is completed
Accounting and tax support continues
Long-term financial planning remains available
EARLY REFERRALS WORK BEST

Referrals made three to six months before arrival create more time to address tax, foreign assets, incorporation, banking, vehicles, housing, and family planning.

Consent-based and clearly documented

Communication Standards

Communication should support the physician and partnership without compromising privacy or creating confusion about responsibilities.

Our communication principles

Physician consent before sharing personal information
Clear introduction and referral process
Defined contact person for each organization
Agreed progress-update expectations
Privacy-conscious document handling
No interference with recruiter agreements
Clear identification of third-party providers

THE PHYSICIAN REMAINS AT THE CENTRE
