On April 25, 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada introduced measures to facilitate the issuance of permanent resident visas for foreign national physicians providing publicly-funded medical services in Canada.
Under the Temporary Public Policy to Facilitate the Issuance of Permanent Resident Visas for Physicians Providing Publicly Funded Medical Services in Canada and related amendments to the Ministerial Instructions respecting the Express Entry system, there are now exemptions for certain job offer and work experience criteria to facilitate the eligibility of self-employed foreign national physicians (such as those working in a fee-for service model). Exemptions impact:
âą the Canadian Experience Class and the Federal Skilled Worker Program; and
âą points in the Express Entryâs Comprehensive Ranking System for
o Canadian work experience; and
o arranged employment.
These measures will enable more foreign national physicians to qualify for federal economic permanent residence programs managed by Express Entry, and to qualify for more points in the Express Entry system, increasing their chances of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residence.

Le 25 avril 2023, Immigration, Refugiés et Citoyenneté Canada a adopté des mesures pour faciliter la délivrance de visas de résident permanent aux médecins étrangers qui fournissent des services médicaux dans le systÚme public canadien.
En vertu de la politique dâintĂ©rĂȘt public temporaire visant Ă faciliter la dĂ©livrance de visas de rĂ©sident permanent aux mĂ©decins qui fournissent des services mĂ©dicaux au Canada financĂ©s par lâĂtat et des modifications connexes aux instructions ministĂ©rielles concernant le systĂšme EntrĂ©e express, des exemptions sâappliqueront Ă certains critĂšres liĂ©s Ă lâoffre dâemploi et Ă lâexpĂ©rience de travail afin de faciliter lâadmissibilitĂ© des mĂ©decins Ă©trangers indĂ©pendants (dont ceux travaillant selon le principe de la rĂ©munĂ©ration des services, par exemple). Ces exemptions concernent :
âą la catĂ©gorie de lâexpĂ©rience canadienne et le Programme des travailleurs qualifiĂ©s (fĂ©dĂ©ral);
âą les points dans le systĂšme de classement global dâEntrĂ©e express pour
o lâexpĂ©rience de travail au Canada;
o un emploi réservé.
Ces mesures permettront Ă un plus grand nombre de mĂ©decins Ă©trangers de satisfaire aux conditions des programmes Ă©conomiques fĂ©dĂ©raux de rĂ©sidence permanente gĂ©rĂ©s par EntrĂ©e express, tout en obtenant plus de points dans le systĂšme dâEntrĂ©e express, augmentant ainsi leurs chances de recevoir une invitation Ă prĂ©senter une demande de rĂ©sidence permanente.
