Advice re moving from the UK as a GP to Canada

[balleballe]

Hi everyone, I'm a GP trainee in the UK looking to relocate to Canada as a fully qualified family physician and am struggling to find accurate information regarding the pathway. My questions are as follows:

1. Which exams do I have to take?
2. What is the process/likelihood in terms of getting jobs?
3. Which regions are more likely to hire IMGs as family physicians?
