I'm foreigner and I want to become a pharmacist in Canada or US ?
Answer:
Dude, do you seriously think you deserve a pharmacist job in America BEFORE all the pharmacy college graduates who are already qualified and were born here?
This is the problem foreigners have. They feel because they have a skill, that makes them able to move ahead of the job line in USA ~~AHEAD of American Citizens.

staying in your country and becoming a pharmacist there,help make your country a better place to live.
If you are an illegal immigrant then hang it up. If you are a legal immigrant then you have to go through the same process to become a pharmicist the same way as everybody else. Try contacting different colleges for starters then take it from there.
Back up a couple of steps here. You have to be licensed in the jurisdiction in which you work. To find out how that happens, contact the pharmacy associations on those areas.
Neither Canada nor the US will necessarily recognize the qualifications of foreign-trained professionals of any type. Further, any given state or province will not necessarily recognize a license from another state or province.
Well in Canada a Pharmacist makes about 50,000 or better depending on who and where you work.
There is a point system to immigration
Points for speaking English or French
for having an education etc
Canada will recognize any degree from the US or the UK and most European nations and almost all Commonwealth nations.
If you are coming from another Commonwealth nation you will be given priority over both the Americans and other non Commonwealth nations
Contact Immigration Canada and look at the government web site "hireimmigrants.ca" That is a federal and Provincial scheme to get immigrants with degree's working in their trade or profession as quickly as possible or set them up with equivalency training in Canada
Because we still use parts of the British North America Act the requirements for educations and such are the responsibility of the Province and not the Federal government
Keep this in mind when you are doing research -
What Manitoba will accept is not what PEI will etc
That said any degree earned in any Province or territory os acceptable in any Province
With the possible exception of Quebec who ussually requires all tests be written in French
Also look into the Territories .
The wages up there include isolation pay - If you make 100 dollars here you will make 1,000 there - The reason is that it is very cold there is little popultion and there is daylight 24 hours a day for half the year and darkness for the 24 hors a day durring the other half of the year
A lot of people will go up there work for a few years and them come back south with a big wad -
