This is my last year as a naturopathic medical student and I want to live and practice in Canada. As for obtaining a naturopathic medical license to practice in Canada, that won't be an issue. However, in order for me to work in Canada right away, I would have to get a job offer in Canada in order to obtain a work permit. The problem with a work permit is that, they last for a year. When if I don't like the hospital? When if I don't get the job? When if my work permit expires? When if I get fired and I am living in Canada, then I am out of a job and have to move back to the US? With that, I am considering, to live in Canada as a permanent resident and apply for citizenship as I work in Buffalo. I can commute back and forth. That way, I can still work in the US for an income and live in Canada in the meantime while I try to become a Canadian citizen. What do you think would be easier? I am interested in your thoughts. This is very important, because I have a year to decide. Thank you so much!
Mmm.... Not sure what you are talking about? I have never heard of hospitals hiring naturopathic practitioners in Canada. I did not even realize there was legitimate licencing for that in Canada? I have only heard of people working in their own private practices.

First you need to make sure permanent residency is an option - it is much harder now than before , you can go to cic website to see if you can get the passing score to qualify
You are making things way TOO complicated for yourself.
First point as KLM rocks said,,, I have lived in Canada for my entire life, and I have never heard of a hospital in Canada that hires naturopaths in any capacity.
Second point. In order to be granted a Permanent Resident status you MUST live and work IN Canada, for the first 3 years of that PR permit. Otherwise, why would you think that you could hop back and forth across the border, to work in NY and live in Ontario ? That isn't allowed.
It seems to me that you really have not thought this out completely.

Your information about permanent residence is incorrect . There is no 3-year requirement in order to be granted PR. People can get PR without living a day in Canada, but once they get it and arrive in Canada , they will have to live in Canada for at least 2 years out of any 5-year period in order to maintain the PR status. And yes it is possible to work in NY and live in Ontario , as long as you spend the night in Canada - there is a residential calculator on the CIC website that is used to determine the days spent in Canada - and you will pay tax to both countries

Yes, they do. There is one where a school does rotations in. Please do research on naturopathic medicine before you respond. Also, these private practices are hiring and I could work there. Do you know what it is? I take it from your answer, you can't answer the question. If you don't know, please stop wasting my time. Don't respond.

Yes, there are, not many. Please do a google search before responding. Hard to take you seriously if you don't read and know what you are talking about.
Did you read all my question? I have not really thought this out, that is why I am asking the question.
I am not getting any good answers here.
LOL! Um, there have been discussions here where people have hop back and forth to work from the US to Canada. Look them up. You sound ridiculous.

Thank you very much for your post! Useful information and I will look into this further.

Then what do you suggest? Why not help then to sit behind the computer and insult people? I came here for help. If you are not going to help, don't respond.

It's an option, I qualify. Thank you.
