Hey everyone!
I’ve recently accepted a new position recruiting Pharmacists from all over the globe to come to Canada and work for our business units.
I’m looking to speak to literally anyone and everyone who is willing to chat and share information.
Your pain points, complaints, day to day life, experience with exams, certification etc.
Especially anyone who has immigrated to Canada to become a Pharmacy Tech, Pharmacy Assistant, Pharmacist etc.

Going to Canada sounds so nice. Anything to get out of the day-to-day media cycle here in the states. Would you be willing to pay for relocation? I'm trying to think of questions folks would likely ask you.

Yes!! The company will help relocate, re-certify for Canadian standards, help with all costs associated. So if you’d like to chat- please email me at: AZuchetto@shoppersdrugmart.ca
