For employers in Canada
Recruit veterinary surgeons for your practice in Canada.
Keep clinical capacity and rotas sustainable. Reach veterinary professionals whose experience and relocation plans fit the role your practice needs to fill.
Recruit for the clinic and the community
A veterinarian vacancy can restrict consultations, procedures and on-call cover. Set out the province, actual clinic location, species mix and level of independent clinical responsibility. A small-animal associate role and a mixed or large-animal appointment need different experience.
For veterinarians considering a move to Canada, explain the schedule, emergency commitments, remuneration structure, clinical equipment and team support. Clarify any confirmed relocation assistance and the time available before the role must start.
Reach internationally mobile veterinary professionals
Medica’s candidate-led approach starts with the clinician: species experience, clinical interests, preferred setting and willingness to relocate. We discuss your practice when those preferences fit, and seek permission before sharing a candidate’s details. This can reach professionals who are considering a move but have not applied to your vacancy.
Separate recruitment from licensing and immigration
Veterinary licensing is determined by the regulator for the province or territory of practice. Qualification assessment and any examination requirements depend on the individual pathway. A recruitment introduction does not confer a licence. Confirm eligibility with the relevant regulator and obtain immigration advice from an appropriately authorised adviser where needed.
Frequently asked questions
Can we consider veterinary surgeons from the UK or Ireland?
Yes. We can explore candidate interest, but eligibility depends on the qualification, destination regulator and work rights. UK or Irish registration does not guarantee local registration.
What should a recruitment brief include?
Share the practice location, species focus, clinical responsibilities, sole-charge and emergency duties, remuneration, support and target start date. Identify any flexibility in the role or timing.
