DO's in CANADA? Please help

[dbuck64]

Hey There!

Here is my question. I was wondering if I completed my D.O. and completed residency and possible fellowship in America. Could I apply and test for licensure in CANADA? I would think that is fine...

My girlfriends father (Orthopedist in Canada) tells me DO's cannot practice in Canada - along with podiatrists....

Can anyone clarify this?

Thank you for your time.

There is a sticky on this somewhere on the forum. I think if you do a allo residency you are in the clear. I think they have problems with the D.O. residencies, not for sure on this so check into it. But I do remember a couple of provinces that only allowed D.O.'s to do OMM.
