International Medical Graduates: Practice in Alberta, Canada
If you are an IMG exploring a move to Canada, Alberta has established IMG routes for both Family physicians and Specialists. We help you convert your training into a clear CPSA licensure path.
Common Routes for IMG-trained Physicians
PRA for IMGs
Practice Ready Assessment (PRA) for FP/Specialist. This may involve sponsorship and assessment.
Assessment Assistance
We provide coaching and feedback before and during your assessment.
Residency / Training Pathways
For doctors earlier in training or switching specialties, we map the residency route, exam requirements, and timelines.
How We Support IMGS
- Eligibility review across PRA, residency, and specialist routes.
- Clear plan for any exams or assessments that apply to your pathway.
- Document strategy for CPSA/AHS submissions and timelines.
- Ongoing coaching through each licensing milestone.

We support physicians from multiple jurisdictions. If you have colleagues trained elsewhere, these pathways may apply to them.
