Here are some of the clients who benefited from a Windmill loan

Chibuike worked as a doctor in Nigeria, and when he arrived in Canada in 2011, he already had a career plan in mind. He would get his Master of Public Health (MPH), Epidemiology, at the University of Saskatchewan. From there, he would utilize his Nigerian experience as a General Practitioner in Canada’s public health services. Chibuike knew this licensing procedure meant incurring many expenses, from exam preparation to residency and purchasing course materials.

With a career plan in mind, Dr. Chibuike, a doctor from Nigeria, arrived in Canada with his family in 2011.

He knew that it was going to be expensive to receive the Canadian license he needed. Luckily, through a fellow doctor in a network of Nigerian-trained health professionals, Dr. Chibuike found out about Windmill Microlending. The loan helped him pay for exams that made it possible to receive his Canadian license.

Today, Dr. Chibuike works as a Resident Physician in Ontario.

International medical graduates (IMGs) need to complete the Canadian licensing process to be eligible to work as doctors in Canada. The process to become licensed is different in each province and territory which have their own sets of physician licensing requirements and fees. The Medical Council of Canada (MCC) which assesses IMGs as part of the licensure process recommends, as a first step, you research whether the school where you received your medical education meets Canadian requirements.
