A GP Couple Begins Their Canadian Journey
Dr Ahmed’s Testimonial about CloserMed Services
“CloserMed knows what they are doing, very organized and hardworking and have great attention to details. They helped me, my wife and one of our friends get our job in the same clinic in Canada. In less than a week, they arranged interviews for us with 3 great clinics meeting our criteria. CloserMed was with us before the interviews, followed up with us after each interview, helped us negotiate our contract with the clinic we chose, connected us with a good real estate agent in the area we wanted, and with immigration lawyer to help us bring my parents with us.” Dr Abdalla Ahmed, Family Physician, Winnipeg, September 2025.
Dr Ahmed and Dr Elamin’s Journey with CloserMed
January 2025 – May 2025
Every candidate’s journey is unique. While some physicians require extensive support with medical licensing requirements, others need more assistance with visa and immigration matters. For this couple, we provided comprehensive support by connecting them with our expert immigration consultant who worked closely with their family to navigate the Canadian immigration system, ensuring all documentation and requirements were properly handled for a smooth transition.
