What are the requirements to work as a pharmacist in Canada, if I have a degree from England?

We Answered:

No, you cannot work as a pharmacist anywhere with a Bachelors degree, you have to go into a graduate pharmacy program to be a pharmacist, they are not doctors but actually have incredibly high medical knowledge and spend time consulting patients. But if you get your grad degree in pharmacy you are qualified to work anywhere, but in many places those are regulated not by the country but by the province/county/state/ whatever is the smaller division in that country.

What are the requirements to work as a pharmacist in Australia, if I have a degree from Taiwan?

We Answered:

Before you can obtain a skilled migration visa for Australia as a retail or hospital pharmacist, you must obtain a positive skills assessment from The Australian Pharmacy Examining Committee (APEC) which is the body responsible for skills assessment for migration purposes. See the following and follow the links to the APEC website for information on what is required:
http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupations/…
http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupations/…

Part of the APEC requirements is that you must meet strict English language requirements. Language requirements are based on either the Occupational English Test (OET) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). A score of ‘A’ or ‘B’ in all four components of the OET or an overall Band score of at least 7.5 (with a minimum score of 7.0 in each of the four components) at the Academic level of IELTS is an essential prerequisite for enrolment in the APC Stage I Examination (as used in Stream A). The OET and IELTS may be taken overseas or in Australia.

Because you are still a student and will require a minimum of 12 months work experience after graduation before you can apply for a visa, you will not require registration specific to the state in which you wish to practise. After 1 July 2010, pharmacists will be nationally registered to practise pharmacy in any state or territory in Australia.
