I'm a British optometrist working in the UK for independent practice and I also assess pre-reg optometrists for the British College of Optometrists. My husband has been offered a job in Montreal and we are considering relocating to Canada. I know that I can do a bridging course at Waterloo to convert my qualification. What I would be grateful for is a little more information on the jobs market. My French is poor so does that mean that work is Quebec is out of the question? I would consider travelling to the Ottawa region to work part time (eg Monday to Wednesday) or perhaps to take regular locum days in that area. This would be very easy in my part of the UK where there is a shortage of optometrists and plenty of work. However, I don't want to give up my wonderful job here and end up unemployed. Any help or advice would be much appreaciated. Thanks.
