US Doctors: Practise in Alberta, Canada
If you’re a US‑trained physician (MD/DO) exploring a move to Canada, Alberta offers multiple licensing routes for both family medicine and specialist practice. We help you turn your training and experience into a clear plan toward CPSA licensure.
Alberta Pathways We Evaluate for US‑Trained Doctors
Approved Jurisdiction Route (AJR)
Approved Jurisdiction Route (AJR) for US doctors. This route has no sponsorship or assessments.
Practice Ready Assessment (PRA)
Practice Ready Assessment (PRA) for FP/Specialist who do not qualify under AJR. This may involve sponsorship and assessment.
Residency / Training Pathways
For doctors earlier in training or changing specialties, we map the route, requirements, and realistic timelines.
