Finding a GP Job in Ontario, Canada – Mitchell’s Story

Relocating overseas as a GP can feel like a big undertaking, from finding the right role and location to understanding registration and immigration requirements.

When Mitchell Denmark began looking for family physician opportunities in Toronto, Ontario, he found Prospect Health online and connected with Ashley Garner, one of our specialist international GP recruitment consultants.

Finding the Right Family Physician Role in Toronto

Mitchell knew he wanted to explore opportunities in Toronto, but finding the right practice and understanding the relocation process were equally important.

From their first conversation, Ashley took the time to understand exactly what Mitchell was looking for, both professionally and personally.

“After speaking to Ashley, I felt he really listened to what I was looking for, both in terms of the ideal job and where I wanted to live.”

Rather than simply presenting available vacancies, Ashley focused on finding opportunities that genuinely matched Mitchell’s requirements.

Support with Registration and Relocation to Canada

Moving to Canada as an internationally trained GP involves several different stages, including having qualifications recognised, securing the right position and navigating the immigration process.

Ashley explained each stage clearly and supported Mitchell throughout the journey.

“He explained the process of having my qualifications recognised, finding a role and navigating the immigration process. I was guided through the process with regular check-ins throughout.”

Ashley also worked closely with the team in Canada to help keep everything progressing smoothly.

No Pressure – Just the Right Opportunity

One of the things Mitchell particularly valued was the way Ashley approached the job search.

Having previously worked with agencies where he felt encouraged towards opportunities that weren’t necessarily right for him, his experience with Prospect Health was very different.

“I never once felt pressured into a role or location that did not feel a good fit, which I had experienced with other agencies.”

Instead, the focus remained on finding the right long-term opportunity in a location that suited Mitchell.

Would Mitchell Recommend Prospect Health?

Absolutely.

“Ashley was super helpful communicating with the team in Canada to smooth the process. I would recommend Prospect Health to anyone looking at relocating to Canada!”
