Advice for a slightly-old American physician [View all]

almost-55 year old family physician with boarding in palliative medicine, last 24 years with the US Department of Veterans Affairs. I don't want to live in a dictatorship, never have, and I also don't care to ply my trade for what would be ultimately someone else's profit. Canadian partner, originally NL but most of her siblings live in Alberta (yes, I know the provincial politics of Texas with Better Donuts). We're going to stick it out here for a year or two, she's got some things to do here, and I'm going to take an early retirement to spend some time with her, with me, and with my own family (Florida, Maryland, Vermont).

So if around 57 I emigrate to Canada, I already know the requirements for licensure/boarding recognition, etc., and the initial contingent licensure. I'm not all that interested in a massive practice, or even working all year. Having performed niche duties at the VA for so long (hospice, dementia unit, geriatrics, spinal cord injury, ALS clinic, addiction medicine), I've become quite rusty with children, women's' health (mitigated in part because I used to do quite a bit of each early in my career), and with simple urgent care stuff.

If anyone has any ideas, what would be the outlook for working at that time in a part-time or part-year setting, where I wouldn't be running a full schedule, but also without the need to pull in much of a paycheck due to my savings and probable American pension/Social Security? message or respond, interested in all advice/ideas, although especially appreciate those in the field.
