Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re considering applying for one of our GP jobs in Alberta, Canada, here are some common questions:

1. How much does a Full-Time GP make in Alberta, Canada?

A full-time General Practitioner (GP) in Alberta typically earns between $200,000 and $300,000 CAD annually, with income varying based on factors such as location, patient volume, and type of practice.

Physicians working in rural or underserved communities may qualify for additional government incentives and programs, further increasing earning potential.

With strong demand for family doctors, competitive compensation, and opportunities for flexible scheduling, Alberta is an excellent choice for physicians seeking a stable and rewarding medical career.

2. What's it really like to work as a GP in Canada?

Thinking about making the move from the UK to Canada? Many UK-trained GPs are choosing Canada for its excellent work-life balance, higher earning potential, and reduced administrative burden.

3. How do I apply for registration with the Medical Council of Canada?

If you’re an international or Canadian medical graduate looking to practice as a physician in Canada, the first step is registering with the Medical Council of Canada (MCC). Start by creating an account on Physiciansapply.ca — the official portal for submitting credentials and applying for exams.

You’ll need to have your medical degree source-verified and apply for the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE) Part I. Depending on the province and your career path, the MCCQE Part II may also be required later.

For full details on eligibility and the application process, visit the MCC website.

4. Highest paying areas for GPs in Alberta

The highest-paying regions for GPs in Alberta are often those with physician shortages, growing populations, or high demand for primary care. Some of the top-paying areas include:

Northern and Remote Communities – Towns such as Fort McMurray, High Level, and Peace River often provide some of the most attractive compensation packages. Physicians may be eligible for government incentives, relocation assistance, and retention bonuses through programs supporting rural and northern practice.

Rural Alberta – Smaller communities across central and southern Alberta frequently offer higher earnings, reduced overhead costs, and additional incentives to attract and retain family doctors.

Mid-Sized Cities (e.g., Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat) – These growing urban centres present strong earning potential due to rising healthcare demand and expanding patient bases.

Calgary and Edmonton – While competition may be greater in Alberta’s largest cities, GPs working in high-volume family practices, urgent care centres, or underserved suburban areas can achieve above-average earnings due to patient flow and diverse practice models.

Overall, rural and northern regions in Alberta tend to offer the most competitive compensation packages, while larger cities provide higher patient volumes, varied practice opportunities, and greater professional flexibility.
