Working in Canada

In Ontario, veterinarians who have graduated from a NAVLE accredited University and passed the NAVLE within two attempts will be granted a full veterinary license. We also have the option to apply for an equine-restricted license for graduates of non-accredited NAVLE universities who have extensive equine experience. 

We are experienced in obtaining work visas for foreign workers and will handle this process as well as all associated fees for the successful candidates.

To Apply

Please submit your resume and a covering letter, which should outline why you are the perfect candidate for this position to opportunities@mpequine.com.  Recent Grads who are currently completing an internship are welcome to apply. Our hiring process is multi-stage: an initial phone and/or video interview, from there successful candidates will be asked to attend a secondary and/or third video interview with team members from our clinic.
