Thank you so much for generously sharing your time and knowledge with me. As an IMG new to Canada, your clear guidance on the licensing pathway gave me real hope during an uncertain time. Your kindness in helping a complete stranger truly means a lot. I’m grateful and feel much more confident about the journey ahead.

It was a great experience consulting Dr. Santos. The consultation was comprehensive, focusing not only on my Licensing pathways but also on other aspects such as the CELPIP exam and how to increase the CRS score. I got a clear picture and a road map of what the next steps are and how to go about them. The amount of this in-depth, authentic knowledge—I don't think one would get anywhere else. The video recording of the consult and the detailed, organized transcript shared at the end of the consult are very useful.

Hope you’re doing good, just came here to appreciate and say thanks to you that your Ethics book is wonderful. I am preparing for Nac Osce and I just went through a case from ethics books, I must say this is superb, language is so simple and easy to understand. I wish that had come up before I took MCCQE😃

I had 1:1 consultation with Dr.Santos for my PER as well as for fellowship guidance in Canada.That was the bestest decision I made while starting my Canadian licensure process.Dr.Santos was the one who helped me navigate the PER pathway by identifying the deficits that I had and guided me towards ultimately obtaining the PER eligibility.He was a ray of hope when I almost gave up on pursuing the Canadian licensure.I am now appearing for my Royal college examination this September and also actively applying for Canadian fellowships… All thanks to Dr.Santos..!!!

My wife and I are both ophthalmologists. We hired Filipe to help us understand better the process and if it would be doable in our end. He was very effective and very kind explaining the whole process. He knew step by step how to proceed. He even knew the specific details of each province, which is very important because they vary in many different ways. He has knowledge to navigate in many different pathways for licensure and knows how to proceed in each situation. He is very kind to answer questions till today, whenever we face difficulties, we reach him and he promptly replies. I strongly recommend his consulting services!

Understanding the health system in Canada can be overwhelming, thanks to the content of Dr. Filipe it is possible to understand the system more easily, it provides clear objectives and access routes to optimize the study and prepare for exams. It also provides a lot of information on how to obtain incorporation and options in the different provinces in Canada.

Doing the 1:1 consultation with Dr Felipe was probably one of the best investments I did in my journey of immigrating to Canada. His knowledge about all the possible pathways is outstanding. I couldn’t recommend more!
