Someone will get back to you, and be your guide through the whole process: Credentials, jobs, immigration, steps to permanent residency, and more. Some positions may be eligible for relocation incentives.
Primary Care Physicians: Also contact the Kootenay Boundary Division of Family Practice. They can work alongside HealthMatchBC to walk you through the process, book clinic site visits, and support relocation.
