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

4. Highest paying areas for GPs in Nova Scotia
The highest-paying regions for GPs in Nova Scotia are typically those experiencing physician shortages, growing populations, or increased demand for primary care.
Northern and Rural Communities – Smaller towns and rural areas across the province often offer some of the most attractive compensation packages. Physicians may be eligible for government incentives, relocation assistance, and retention bonuses to support healthcare access in remote regions.
Rural and Underserved Areas – Communities outside major centres frequently provide higher earning potential, lower overhead costs, and additional incentives to attract and retain family doctors.
Mid-Sized Cities (e.g., Sydney, Truro, New Glasgow) – These growing urban centres present strong opportunities for GPs due to expanding populations and increasing healthcare demand, offering a balance of competitive earnings and lifestyle amenities.
Urban Centres (e.g., Halifax, Dartmouth) – While competition can be greater in larger cities, GPs working in high-volume family practices, community clinics, or underserved neighbourhoods can achieve above-average compensation due to patient flow and diverse practice models.
Overall, rural and underserved regions in Nova Scotia tend to offer the most competitive compensation, while mid-sized and urban centres provide larger patient volumes and a wider variety of practice opportunities.
