Hi,
Hi. I am a Pharmacist , currently practicing in Minneapolis, USA. Due to Family reasons, I am planning to shift to Canada, and take up a Job as a Retail Pharmacist with any Retail Chain Pharmacy in Canada.I have a total job exp of abt 3 yrs.

I am an international Pharmacist, completeing my Bachelors study from India, and then completed all qualifying exams(FPGEE, NAPLEX,MPJE for US States) to practice in USA.
I would like to know :
1. With my current qualification and experience, am I eligible to take up a Pharmacist Position in your organization ?
2. Do I need to clear certain examinations specific to Canada to become eligible ? If yes, then what are the steps to help me become eligible to work in Canada ?
3. Will my present qualification and Work Experience in USA give me some advantage over a fresh International Pharmacist applying directly to Canada ?

Looking to hear back from experts !! Plz help me out here !
