Hi Geeta, I am 56 and work in Healthcare Consulting in a global IT company. I would like to migrate to Canada/ Au or a european country like Germany. Would like to work in the same field in Management Consulting in healthcare. Please let me know the chances and process on how I can go about this?

Ans: Hi Rajiv
You can migrate to Canada under start up visa category. Your son can be dependent in your application. Alternate option for your son to go on study visa and apply for PR once he completes his study in Canada.

Ans: Hello Hansa
You can apply under start up visa for Canada.
For Australia you can go through the details related to GTI Program.

Ans: Thank you for sharing your background and questions. I will do my best to provide you with helpful information.

Firstly, it is possible to migrate to another country at any age, including 56 years old. However, the process and requirements may vary depending on the country you are interested in. Some countries may have age restrictions for certain types of visas or work permits, while others may not. It is best to research the specific country you are interested in and consult with a qualified immigration lawyer or consultant to understand the requirements and process.

Regarding your second question, there are many countries where you can continue to work as a healthcare management consultant. Some of the top countries for healthcare consulting include the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Singapor. However, there are many other countries that also have a demand for healthcare consultants, so it is worth researching the specific country you are interested in.

If you are interested in working for a healthcare management consulting firm, there are many options available. Some of the top healthcare consulting firms include Boston Consulting Group, ZS, L.E.K. Consulting, Bain & Company, ClearView Healthcare Partners, and IQVIA. These firms have a global presence and offer a range of services to clients in the healthcare industry.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Ans: As a highly experienced Professor of Medicine with extensive experience in both the UK and India, you may have viable pathways for migration to Canada or Australia, both of which value skilled professionals in the healthcare sector. Canada and Australia both have skilled migration programs designed to attract individuals with in-demand skills and experience. These programs typically require applicants to meet certain eligibility criteria, including qualifications, work experience, language proficiency, and health and character assessments. Another option to consider is employer-sponsored visas, where you secure a job offer from an employer in Canada or Australia who is willing to sponsor your visa application. In Canada, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) may offer pathways for employer-sponsored immigration. In Australia, the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa and the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa are common employer-sponsored visa options. Research the immigration pathways, visa requirements, and medical registration processes for both Canada and Australia. Kindly consider consulting with immigration experts, migration agents, or legal professionals who specialize in healthcare immigration to assess your eligibility and develop a personalized migration strategy.

Ans: My suggestion would be to take up a job and simultaneously try getting admission into a good B school. Till the time you have to join you will have some relevant work ex which could be handy.
