We'd love you to join us in building the strongest healthcare system in Canada!
If you are a healthcare professional who is thinking of immigrating to Canada, make Alberta your first choice. You'll enjoy the natural beauty, welcoming people and quality of life in one of Canada’s fastest growing provinces. Alberta Health Services welcomes qualified internationally-educated healthcare professionals who have, or are in the process of obtaining, permanent resident status to live and work in Canada.

The following links offer helpful information on the steps you need to take before applying to AHS.

Tips on Your Resume
Your resume and cover letter is how you introduce yourself to a potential employer. The governments of Alberta and Canada offer useful information on how to make your cover letter and resume stand out.
North American Free Trade Agreement
Specific professionals from the U.S. and Mexico are able to work in Canada under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). If you are one the professionals listed, you don’t need a job offer approved by HRSDC for AHS to employ you. However, you still need to have a medical exam and criminal record check.
If You Have Questions
A respectful, long-term relationship with you is important to us. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
