Default Re: Pharmacy in Canada

The fact is, NABP does look at what you did before the pharmacy degree. Like I told you here, if you didn't do A-levels and went straight to UK pharmacy degree, from say, Canadian high schools, you can't sit for FPGEE even though it's a 4 yr Masters pharmacy degree - this would be total of 4 yrs. I read in a different pharmacy forum that uk pharm grads have to actually send a proof for A-levels to NABP.(is a MUST for them)

How's the salary of pharmacists in Alberta compared to other provinces?
I have two Canadians in my school; one of them I know is from Toronto and the other's from Calgary.

Aussie lifestyle was actually quite a disappointment. It's harder to get good quality products and food than the States, and not as resourceful. I have a Canadian friend in Perth studying pharmacy, and he complains the same thing. Daily stuffs are harder to find, costs too much, and the avg housing prices there is around half a million! The only good thing about this country is tourism and that's it. I think it is an overrated country.
Ironically, an average miner here earns more than an avg. GP in Australia. Labor jobs have relatively higher salaries in this country.
