Canada has a long history of recruiting overseas doctors, including those specializing in psychiatry, for services in their country. Today there is a strong nucleus of British trained psychiatrists, practising in Canada, in spite of which multiple vacant psychiatric positions still exist and Canadian recruitment drives for British psychiatrists continue. Approximately four years ago, following reading an advertisement in the Journal concerning opportunities for psychiatrists in Canada, I and my family emigrated. Since this time I have been active myself in the recruitment of British psychiatrists for positions in Canada and my experience, as a British psychiatrist in Canada, may be useful for colleagues who are themselves contemplating such a move.
