Dr Innocent Chukwudumebi Okafor is a veteran of medical practice who graduated from the University of Benin, Nigeria in 1990. He went on to serve a wide swarth of the Nigeria community, in diverse rural and urban settings, until he moved to Canada in 2000 where he promptly set about acquiring his Canadian medical practice Licence.

While challenging the multiple exams in this process he lived in Brampton Ontario working as both a personal support worker with the Brampton Caledon Community Living and the Catholic School Board, first, as a supply teacher and then as an Educational Resource Worker from 2000 to spring 2003. It is noteworthy that the humility of these jobs notwithstanding, he served with compassion and dedication testified to by the fact that the grateful mentally and physically challenged wards and their families he cared for during this period remain dear and supportive friends of his to this day.
He would eventually move to Newfoundland to complete a short residency program and then begin a practice there from 2003 to 2007. He returned to Ontario temporarily in 2007 initially by providing locum coverage in various urban and rural settings of Ontario, from Kapuskasing to Owen Sound, as well as in various walk-in clinics in the GTA before finally settling into the William Osler Hospital in Brampton first in the ER and then as a hospitalist on the rehab floors from 2008. In 2010 he opened a solo family practice just adjacent to the hospital complex. This office was moved to the neighborhood Walmart store in 2015 where he maintained a flourishing practice until 2021. Also, it is noteworthy that along with his hospital and office practice, Dr. Okafor worked with the Ontario house call service, Med-visit. He would jump into a car with a driver, late in the day about 2 to 3 times a week to drive around Mississauga and Brampton, often well past midnight, taking and making calls, and visiting a wide variety of home-bound patients to deliver needed ambulatory care. Note that this disposition to make late calls while riding shotgun with his Med-visit driver was the singular reason for the lateness of a few of his calls, for which he had been exploitatively scandalized by College agents who certainly have access to billing records and therefore to the work-related fact behind the time of those calls, as he vigorously defended in his submissions.
