I would put USA, Singapore and HK as second tier due to their high level of medicine and take home pay after tax. Singapore also takes in a fair few foreign doctors who can't qualify for the first tier countries.

Third tier countries are the post-Brexit UK with its underfunded and understaffed NHS and the EU where doctors generally aren't well remunerated, and then there is everyone else.
Canadian physician here. Taxes here are the highest among those countries you listed. For every additional $1 I make, the government takes $0.52.

I won't move to Canada if money is your primary motivator.
