Our Story
Canasta.vet is a global platform supporting international veterinarians and veterinary professionals with education, workforce development, externships, and career pathways — especially in North America (USA & Canada).
Our journey is rooted in firsthand experience. Having navigated international education systems, professional licensing pathways, workforce integration, and community service, we understand the challenges that internationally trained professionals face. From uncertainty around credential recognition to limited access to reliable guidance, we saw a clear need for a platform built on experience, integrity, and empathy.
Canasta.vet was created to bridge this gap.
