Job description

This is a rare opportunity to step straight into a ready-made list of 1,000+ rostered patients from day one, with no Canadian exams for UK-trained GPs. Physicians at the practice bill C$360,000-960,000 a year gross (approx. £195,000-520,000), and you keep around 71% of billings, with a lower overhead than is typical locally.

The Practice

An FHO paying monthly capitation for every rostered patient plus FFS top-ups, so your income grows with your list rather than your hours, giving stable, predictable earnings without high daily volumes. Purpose-built premises opened in 2022, with pharmacy, lab and physiotherapy in the same building plus an on-site psychotherapist and a varied caseload spanning prenatal, well-baby and preventative care and minor procedures. More support staff than most Ottawa clinics, including reception, nursing and clinical assistants. A professional, supportive culture with an open-door clinic lead, where associates have stayed four to five years. A UK-trained GP who made the move in 2017 is happy to talk you through the transition.

Benefits

Gross billings of C$360,000-960,000 a year (approx. £195,000-520,000). The top earner exceeds C$1.44 million a year (approx. £780,000). Keep around 71% of your billings, against a local norm the practice puts closer to 60-70%. 1,000+ rostered patients from day one, rising to 1,500-2,000 within around three months. Roster building done for you - the practice emails its patients about you around three months before you land. No Canadian exams for UK-trained GPs in Ontario. Set your own appointment length - 10, 15 or 20 minutes - seeing 3-5 patients an hour at your own pace. Evening (to 8pm) and weekend urgent care sessions attract premium billing codes for those who want to boost their earnings further. Mentoring on rostering strategy from the clinic lead and a UK-trained colleague.

Visa sponsorship available via the LMIA or C10 routes.

Location Overview

Canada’s capital is an officially bilingual city of just over 1 million, where newcomers blend in easily, with Montreal around two hours away by car or VIA Rail. Gatineau Park is 20 minutes away for hiking, snowshoeing and skiing at Camp Fortune, while the protected Greenbelt circles the city with trails. In winter the UNESCO World Heritage Rideau Canal opens its 7.8km Skateway, the ByWard Market is the heart of the city’s food and restaurant scene, and four distinct seasons bring warm summers, vivid autumn colour and proper snowy winters. Family-friendly neighbourhoods such as Barrhaven, Kanata and Orléans are within easy reach of the practice, with English, Catholic, French immersion and French-language schooling all available.
