Hi Ritesh,
Congrats on your recent immigration to Canada. I wish you and your family all the best. I also wished that the Canadian consulate or embassy that you dealt with could of helped you out by at least guiding you in the proper direction to have your credentials and experience translated and/or transferred back to Canada.
I did some searching for you and I hope this information helps. First off which province do you reside in? Were you licenced professionally in India? Did you belong to any association for Radiologists while you lived in India? Also, were you able to participate in any overseas exchanges to countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom or even Australia?
From what I gathered you will have to do the following:
Begin to get your credentials assessed. This means that every school you have ever attended i.e. elementary, highschool, university, medical school, you must request an official transcript.
-You must also detail every course you have ever taken at every school. This includes providing an official course description from the school.
-If you received any licences, certification, etc. send that too. That must be translated word for word and be certified as well.
All documents must be sent to:
World Education Services
45 Charles Street East, Suite 700
Toronto, Ontario M4Y 1S2
Fax: 416-972-9004

I went to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website and that is the company that they had mentioned.
Also you can contact the Canadian Association of Radiologists at to obtain information about licencing in the province you reside in and what is involved.

I am hoping that they will also be able to guide you along. I know that you will need to be certified in the province that you will be working in and each province is different.
I hope that everything works out for you! It takes a lot to become a Radiologist and I would hate to see your talent wasted!
Cheers and Best Wishes!
