Wheeew. The reason you don’t hear African trained doctors talk about practising in Canada as much as they do in UK is because it is very difficult for International or foreign trained doctors to get residency in Canada. The UK, unlike Canada has a high demand for Medical Doctors, and has made the process very easy for internationally trained medical doctors to migrate and the license to practice in the UK. The process is as simple as registering and passing the PLAP I & II. In Canada however, there are around 3000 IMGs (International Medical Graduates) competing for 300 – 400 positions, this inclusive of Canadian and non-Canadian doctors. Now the Canadian IMGs have a higher rate of acceptance, (96%) than non-Canadians IMGs (21%), this is according to data by https://www.cfms.org/ IMGS are individuals who have completed or will complete medical training and/or residency outside of Canada or the United States. They are graduates of schools that have not been accredited by the Committee for the Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (CACMS) or the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME).

I think beyond identifying the market, you must also identify specific buyers of your product in that country, will it be small time retailers? Large retailers or distributors? This will also be informed by the type and quantity of products you have available. Supermarkets are the sole buyers of fruits and vegies. These international food and vegies fairs in Europe attract buys and sellers and you should follow the fair. https://www.ifema.es/en/fruit-attraction and https://www.fruitlogistica.com/. Another important Quality Standards. There are important quality standards that imported agric produces must meet. Like cleanness, level of maturation, sizing, packaging, etc. You can find these standards here https://ec.europa.eu/info/food-farming-fisheries/plants-and-plant-products/fruits-and-vegetables#marketingstandards. Also check https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/ALL/?uri=CELEX:32011R0543 If it’s the UK, check https://www.gov.uk/guidance/comply-with-marketing-standards-for-fresh-fruit-and-vegetables Food safety. European buyers are increasingly demanding that their suppliers be certified by a private food safety standard such as GLOBALGAP, BRC and IFS. The first has become the most common certification standard required by supermarkets. It is a set of standards for good agricultural practice that covers the whole agricultural production process up until the final non-processed product. https://www.brcgs.com/

You said it all, thank you for your response.

Whether you’re making your study application or through mail to the school, ensure you deadline for completing essays, collecting recommendations and filling out forms weeks before they are due. This will give time for courier, and other things, and help you make deadlines. Send notarised copies when instructed, and as instructed. Most country will give specific instructions on how to notarize your documents, ensure you follow this. Also use the exam same name on your passport on all your documents, this makes things easier for admission and other things. Send transcripts early for evaluation by WES or any other body depending on where you’re going.

Finding scholarhsips take time and devotion. There are many scholarship boards you need to sign up to and check regularly. Also, you should check that you meet the requirement for the scholarhsips, most would require you to obtain admission first into the school before you're considered. So there's no easy way to get a scholarhsip. Check this links

Care This is also regulated and requires training and experience. Chances are that you have no experience providing care to the elderly or sick people before coming to the UK. Understand that this is different from medical care. So even as a Nurse or Medical Doctor from Africa, without care experience in the UK, it will be difficult getting care jobs in the UK, not minding that you have been in the medical field in your home country. The good news is, you don’t necessarily need to pay for a license or training, you need to find big care homes that take trainee care providers, sort of an internship. Location matters a lot too, you can find these big care homes in major cities in the UK.

Students may be allowed to work up to 20 hours per week. Certain restrictions do apply. Several scholarships and financial schemes are available for foreign students. Eligibility depends on your current country of residency and level of completed education. Certain restrictions and prerequisites apply for all these programmes. For current detailed information International students may stay in Norway for until one year after graduating from a Norwegian university or university college in order to look for work. Beware that you must apply for residence permit as a job seeker before your current permit expires and after completing your degree.

Ok, this is good, but how about international students who are graduating January 2021 but have valid visa till may 2021? I assume they are not eligible. Couldn’t they have implemented this policy earlier?
