Get in contact with the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons. They are the regulating body that gives docs liscences to practice.

Bad news big guy. Where I am, we have real problems getting IMG's (International Medical Graduates) liscences.

If she was from the states, or UK, or even South Africa, she'd probably do okay. Korea has a different type of medicine (as other asian nations, no racism, just the truth... I said different, not worse or better) so the Canadian Docs get all upset when someone applies that they don't already recognize.

At least the BCCPS will be able to give definitive answers for the process, including the application, clinical testing, shadowing, limited or restricted liscencing, or info on courses offered to increase skill/knowledge so that it is on par with their requirements.

Good luck.
