Doctors

Are you a doctor?

We also guide doctors through recognition. Each country has its own route:

Canada: Credential verification through physiciansapply.ca, the MCCQE Part I exam, then a provincial practice-ready assessment or residency (CaRMS).
Ireland: Registration with the Medical Council (IMC); many non-EU graduates sit the PRES exam.
Italy: Diploma recognition by the Ministry of Health and fluent Italian; hiring outside the quota is possible.

⚠️ Protect yourself from scams

Grace Travel never charges money for a job offer. Be careful with anyone who promises a job abroad in exchange for money. Our document, registration and visa services are charged separately, with a clear quote before you start.

Frequently asked questions

Do I pay to get a job?

No. The employer hires you directly and nurses pay no placement fee. Only our document, registration and visa services are charged, with a quote first.

I only speak French. Do I have a chance?

Yes. Québec and New Brunswick hire in French. For Italy you will learn Italian, which is close to French.

Can my family come?

In Canada and Ireland your spouse can usually work. In Italy, family reunification is possible once you are settled.

How long does it take?

Between 6 and 24 months depending on the country. Registration with the nursing board is the longest step, so start early.
