BRITISH COLUMBIA NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release 2025HLTH0090-000915 Sept. 22, 2025 Ministry of Health More U.S. doctors, nurses, allied health professionals on their way to B.C. VICTORIA - Increasing numbers of American health-care professionals are looking north as B.C. continues to break down barriers for U.S. health-care workers to practise here. Since May 2025, the number of job applications received from U.S. health-care workers has doubled to more than 1,400 and more than 140 qualified U.S. doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners and allied health professionals have accepted job offers. More are on the way. "Health-care workers want to be in a system where their skills are valued, science is respected and their focus is on providing care - not fighting with for-profit insurance companies," said Josie Osborne, Minister of Health. "That's why we're seeing incredible momentum with hundreds of American health-care workers on their way to B.C. and some already here. For people in British Columbia, this means shorter wait times, stronger team-based care and better health services in communities across the province." With growing uncertainty in the U.S., increasing numbers of American health-care workers are drawn to B.C. as a place that believes in science, protects reproductive rights and provides universal health-care coverage. The Province launched a recruitment marketing campaign targeting health-care workers in Washington, Oregon and select cities in California during June and July 2025. The campaign continues through advertisements placed in academic publications in the U.S. through September. Since the recruitment campaign began in March, more than 2,950 health-care workers have expressed interest in moving to British Columbia by visiting the BC Health Careers website.
The influx of new health-care workers is supported by government's action to attract American health-care workers and break down barriers to them practising in British Columbia. These supports include: • a new, expedited credential recognition process for U.S.-trained and certified nurses. • 535 U.S. nurses and 104 nurse practitioners have successfully registered with the BC Colleges of Nurses and Midwives to practise in B.C. Often, the first step taken is to confirm their credentials before applying for jobs. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC implemented bylaw changes to make it easier for U.S. trained doctors to practise in B.C. without the need for further assessment, examination or training. • Since then, 29 U.S.-trained physicians have been registered through the college. • For doctors trained outside of Canada and the U.S., the Province has eliminated the need for an additional exam, the licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada. • The College of Physicians and Surgeons is also proposing a bylaw change to further streamline the registration and licensure process for certain specialties from jurisdictions where training is recognize and approved by Canada's national certification bodies. "Since February, I have been working with HealthMatch BC, and they've made the process of moving from Alaska to Nakusp very smooth and made me feel valued and welcomed at every step," said Nickol Dameror a U.S. nurse who will relocate to Nakusp in November 2025. "I am so thrilled to be joining my colleagues and providing care to my community at Arrow Lakes Hospital starting in late November." This is part of the Province's "Team BC" approach in which health authorities, regulatory colleges, local government and communities work together to recruit more health-care workers from the U.S. By welcoming more American doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses and allied health professionals, B.C. is building on the expertise of its talented health-care workforce to strengthe…
More U.S. doctors, nurses, allied health professionals on their way to B.C.

Two emergency doctors joined our group in the past three weeks, filling a long-unfilled shift. Their arrival improved our workload balance and shortened our ER queues. American doctors moving their practices to Canada benefits everyone. Start here, today.

This type of corruption at the Medical Board of California demonstrates that even in blue states, US medical licenses are at best arbitrary and at worst meaningless. #DOXIT

I’m sure everyone on BlueSky has already seen this but I’m posting it here anyway.
We’re talking so much shit about this idiocy in the Canadian ER where I work now. Honestly, I haven’t been this excited to go to work in a long time. #CanMed #DOXIT

The US professional practice of medicine didn’t stop the takeover by corporate interests & their fascist doctors, they actively enabled it.
How? By silencing/ punishing those of us that sought to ACTUALLY protect the public interest.
It’s THEIR claimed mandate.
It’s also a lie.

Over half of US healthcare workers plan to switch jobs by next year, survey finds. Can Canada capitalize on this historic opportunity to reverse the “brain drain”?
It can, but will it? #Doxit 🇨🇦 #CanMed

This is so smart.
A bylaw passed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC allows U.S. doctors with certain certifications to become fully licensed in B.C.
It’s set to go into effect in 2 weeks.
Let’s go! #Doxit 🇨🇦

"We may very well see, as a result of what's happened in these dramatic few months, a reverse brain drain, where we start to lose some of our best and brightest young scientists because they think they will have a better chance in another part of the world," said Dr. Francis Collins.

The American Medical Association (AMA) is prioritizing its proprietary coding system over anything else. In contrast, the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) has its priorities right.

American doctor born and raised in the US now carrying her passport and hiring a lawyer after she received a letter telling her to leave the country immediately.
She thinks it’s a mistake and I hope it is, but US doctors have been treated very poorly by Trump. Unless they’re FOS.

I’m advocating for American doctors to move to Canada. Political persecution from the conspiracy theory driven anti-vaccine zealot RFK Jr will be swift— and random.
@canadahealthwatch.bsky.social asked what I thought it would take to reduce the licensing period from 5 month to 6 weeks. #Doxit 🇨🇦

The College of Family Physicians of Canada has a great list of advocacy priorities including: accelerating recognition for internationally educated physicians. ✅
Tell an American doc you know Canada still respects science and is welcoming American doctors who seek refuge up north.

May the great northern doctor migration continue at a rapid clip.
As @jossreimer.bsky.social stated this week, the Canadian Federal government must remove unnecessary barriers blocking US doctors from caring for Canadians in Canada.

This type of conspiracy based revenge fantasy is a top down assertion by Robert F. Kennedy Jr and his American doctor co-conspirators for Nuremberg Style trial for ordinary U.S. doctors. They have been manufacturing a series of lies to justify punishment for years. It’s coming.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said U.S. President Donald Trump "won't be happy" with the province's push to lure U.S. doctors, nurses, and medical researchers to Canada.
But Ontario is pushing forward regardless. Good.
