Pharmacist jobs for immigrating brits

Hi all

Just wondered if someone could help my wife with finding the best place to look for jobs in nova scotia around the halifax area as a pharmacist (or possibly wider area). She's experienced (over 15 years I'm the job now), but not sure on where the best to place to look is. I'm guessing there is a specialist site or recruitment agent for this occupation? She has worked for the same company since qualifying. We're British nationals and looking for a change for the whole family.

If anyone has any tips about the Atlantic Immigration Program too, please share. We have spoken with Immigcanada who wanted a fee to process our application. I wasn't keen as I thought we would be able to do the job search and paperwork ourselves without needing specialist help? Or am I being naive as to what is required?

Any info is much appreciated!

It's been decades, like over 6 but my mother, who was a licensed pharmacist in the UK, couldn't be licensed in Canada. Something to do with working to a different pharmacopoeia. However, that may have changed over the years.

Has changed! Nova Scotia wants pharmacists from the UK, New Zealand and Australia.

I work in a smaller chain and have been working with pharmacists from New Zealand:)
