Helping UK-trained GPs move into Canadian practice with confidence
Built by a team with experience from leading institutions across healthcare, research, and technology.
From recruitment and relocation to licensing support and clinic matching, Careviv helps clinics and UK-trained GPs come together through a clearer path to practice in Canada.
Clinic partnerships
We work with clinics that are ready to expand access to care by bringing in UK-trained GPs, with a model built around fit, readiness, and long-term placement.
GP recruitment
Careviv connects clinics with qualified UK-trained general practitioners who are actively exploring relocation and opportunities to practise in Canada.
Relocation support
We support UK-trained GPs through key steps such as relocation planning, document preparation, licensing navigation, and transition into Canadian practice.
Clinic matching
We help align clinics and doctors based on location, practice goals, and readiness, so placements are smoother and more sustainable for both sides.
Familiar challenges
These are the two questions we help partner clinics answer most often.
Continuity of care
“Our family doctor is retiring soon — what happens to all the patients on our roster?”
Patient continuity shouldn’t end with a retirement. Careviv matches your clinic with UK-trained GPs in active relocation, so a familiar face can step in for the roster instead of patients being sent back to a waitlist. We support the vetting, matching, and licensing steps that come with bringing a new doctor on board.
Capacity without more rooms
“More family doctors sound nice, but we don’t have enough office space.”
You don’t need to add walls to add appointments. Careviv helps clinics grow total capacity through telehealth-ready physicians and flexible scheduling models — letting one exam room serve more patients across more hours, so you can take on more bookings during evenings, weekends, and overflow without renovating the floor plan or hiring extra support staff.
How partnership works
We work with clinics looking to expand physician capacity through UK-trained GPs. From early conversations to matching and placement support, Careviv helps make the process clearer and more manageable.
A short intro call to understand your location, current capacity, hiring needs, and the kind of GP support you are looking for.
We assess your clinic’s goals, expansion plans, and readiness to support a UK-trained GP through recruitment and placement.
When there is a fit, we introduce doctors from our UK GP pipeline based on location, practice goals, and clinic needs.
We stay involved through the placement process, helping both clinics and doctors navigate next steps toward a smoother start.
Partner with Careviv to help bring more physician capacity into your clinic and more care into your community. Our model is built to stay accessible for clinics, with a low-commission, mission-first approach that puts long-term impact ahead of short-term profit.
Partnership philosophy
From clinic fit to physician transition, we help make a complex process more manageable.
We understand how physician retirement, access pressure, and hiring gaps affect continuity of care at the clinic level.
We support a process that involves more than recruitment, helping make relocation and practice transition more manageable.
We match with sustainability in mind so clinics and doctors start from stronger alignment.
We do not disappear after an introduction. We stay close to the process as next steps take shape.
When something matters, clinics speak with people who understand the context and can move things forward.
Our model is built to support growth in primary care without the kind of fee structure that makes partnership harder for clinics.
Partner readiness
Successful placements start with the right clinic support.
Clinics should be ready to support the work permit process so an incoming GP has a clear path to practise in Canada.
Where needed, we look for clinics that can provide supervision from an existing family doctor to support a smooth transition into practice.
Relocation is a major step. The clinics we work best with are those that genuinely want to help a new GP settle in, professionally and personally.
Beta partners
“Honestly, I almost didn’t go through with the move. Licensing, the visa, finding a clinic, finding somewhere to live — it felt like five jobs on top of leaving the NHS. The Careviv team did the bits I couldn’t and stuck with me on the rest, and the clinic they put me in front of actually fits how I want to practise. Didn’t think I’d get a say in that part.”
Dr. James H.
GP, recently relocated from the UK
“One of our family doctors had been talking about retirement for a while and we kept putting it off — you don’t replace twenty years of patient relationships with a job posting. Careviv brought us a UK-trained doctor who’s been sharing the panel through the handover, and our patients haven’t been shuffled around. Honestly, that mattered to us more than anything else.”

Partner FAQ
Honest answers on cost, control, and what changes (and what does not) when you go live with Careviv.
Careviv supports more than just introductions. We help clinics and UK-trained GPs move through a more structured path that can include matching, relocation coordination, licensing navigation, and early transition support into Canadian practice.
We work with clinics that are looking to strengthen family doctor capacity, prepare for a physician retirement, protect continuity of care, or create room for long-term growth in primary care access.
We are currently focused on the Canadian market, with particular attention on clinics navigating family doctor capacity needs and physician transition pathways. Some process details may vary by province.
Our focus is on UK-trained GPs who are exploring a move to Canada and looking for the right clinic fit, practice environment, and longer-term opportunity.
In most cases, we look for clinics that can support the work permit process, provide supervision from an existing family doctor where needed, and offer a welcoming environment for a new GP entering Canadian practice.
In many cases, yes. Depending on the physician’s pathway into Canadian practice, supervision from an existing family doctor in the clinic may be an important part of supporting a smooth and structured transition.
For many placements, clinics will need to support the work permit process so the incoming GP has a clear path to practise in Canada. We help make that process easier to understand and navigate.
Earlier is better. Clinics that begin planning before a retirement, vacancy, or capacity issue becomes urgent usually have more room for stronger matching, smoother coordination, and better onboarding outcomes.
We start by understanding your clinic’s location, needs, goals, and readiness. From there, we look for alignment with UK-trained GPs in our pipeline based on fit, timing, and the type of transition the clinic can support.
Yes. We stay involved through the placement process to help both sides navigate next steps, reduce friction, and support a clearer transition into practice.
Timelines can vary depending on the doctor’s stage, licensing requirements, clinic readiness, and work permit steps. Our role is to help make the path clearer and more manageable from the start.
Our model is designed to stay accessible for clinics, with a low-commission, mission-first approach focused on long-term partnership and meaningful placements rather than high-fee transactions.
