It sounds like you will need to apply for a Skilled Worker Visa, permanent residence status. It's a long process - expect it to take at least 2-3 years, maybe more depending on your country of current residence. You might be able to get into the country sooner if you have a current job offer and your company chooses to sponsor you and even then, you are still on temporary status.
Check out the official site and look through ALL of it for good information: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/index.html For personal experiences, check out this discussion forum: www.immigration.ca

check www.cic.gc.ca
It is a long process, some countries take like 4 or 5 years, some take 1, it depends on your country
It is not very easy to get a job as a pharmacist (probably one of the hardest professions to get a job here) but if you have friends here that will help you big time!!

Contact your local pharmacist. You should be able to move to Canada with no problems. We function on a 'points' system and they really give points for education.
