internship in canada after pebc evaluating exam

Hi, I'm a pharmacist from the Philippines and I'm planning to take the pebc evaluating exam in January 2011 and I'm planning to practice in Alberta. I've read all the requirements to practice as a pharmacist in Alberta and they require pharmacy internship. I've found this on their site:

Pre-requisites for intern registration:

1.Successfully complete the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) Evaluating Exam (www.pebc.ca);
2.Meet English language fluency requirement;
3.Be a permanent resident, Canadian citizen, landed immigrant, or hold a valid employment visa.

My only problem is the third requirement. I'm not an immigrant in Canada and I plan to apply for a temporary resident visa only to sit for the PEBC Evaluating Exam. Can someone please tell me how to acquire a valid employment/working visa? Can I just apply to any community pharmacy in Alberta for internship during my stay there as a temporary resident visa holder? Thank you very much.

You can apply as visitor visa and go to canada to give ur PEBC exams. This is what I did. But you will need an work permit and work visa to work there. Which you will get after clearing all your PEBC exams only

I'm on the same situation 5 years ago.Back then, companies are interested in hiring foreign graduates because of the shortage. But now, it's different. There's alot of graduates and companies are cutting hours for pharmacist. I don't think, your prospect is good. Anyway, good luck

hi , just wanna ask hows your review going ...thnaks

I have a work permit to work in Canada. I am now thinking to take the pebc evaluating exam. But when I read about the internship hours required , it is very disappointing. How can one practice for 1000 hours without job? Please clarify this point. Is the internship with payment or without payment?

hi..thats ridiculous...anyway what is your job now...

cynthia pharm in Netherlands said: hi..thats ridiculous...anyway what is your job now...

No there is no mandatory 1000 hours requirement by the PEBC
And you get around 12-22 CAD per hour for Intern Pharmacist or assistant pharmacist job.

hi..why there is such a bracket..is this after the evaluating exam.

cynthia pharm in Netherlands said: hi..why there is such a bracket..is this after the evaluating exam.

after the PEBC eval exam you give the ILETS exams and after you pre register yourself as an IPG.

I just gave you an estimate bracket. I dont know why it is like this.

CAN SOMEONE CLARIFY WHETHER I CAN DO SOME SORT OF TRAINEE JOB ONCE I PASS EVALUATION EXAM.
THANKS MOOSA DUBAI

mr moosa once u pass ur evaluation exam then u must pass local english test which is just formality then u will be registerd as IPG, U CAN DO PAID INTERSHIP THEN.
I have passed evaluation exam and will visit for qualifying in winter 2011.
i have fingers crossed for u...
good luck

Are both the exams tough...evaluating and qualifying?

I am a fresh graduate of Pharmacy. And passed the evaluating exams and English Exams. I'm currently in UK. Is the 1000 Hours of internship must have to be in canada or anywhere in the world like UK.

How much on an average it takes to get register as an pharmacist in canada from scratch including Evaluating and Final interview.
