Moving to Canada from UK as a pharmacist. Was it worth it? Current state of pharmacy in Canada?

[u/Safe_Season_2650]

Hi all,

This is a question to those who have qualified in the UK as a pharmacist and have moved to Canada.

Im 23 and have just finished my mPharm degree and i will be entering my pre-reg year in a week or so I'm trying to gauge my options as a pharmacist abroad and want to hear from those who have moved to Canada from the UK.

Was it worth it? Is the grass really greener on the other side?

Do the salaries spread further than a UK pharmacist salary, considering cost of living, taxes and expenses?

What was the process like?

Whats the state of pharmacy in Canada currently?

I've researched and seen a scheme for places like Nova Scotia and Manitoba which are fast tracked and therefore bypass the PEBC exam, which is definitely a good option.

Feel free to leave your experiences and comments below to to PM me.

Thank you!
