Every year, Canadian Medical Schools train far less doctors than France, Germany, Britain, Australia or Spain.

Canadian provinces make it extraordinarily difficult for foreign-trained doctors to practice. It doesn't matter how knowledgeable and good you are. They will do everything they can to prevent you from working

It's an absolute disgrace. It's like the goal is to ensure there are as few doctors as possible.

Unfortunately, the public isn't really aware of this. And because the public isn't aware, the political class doesn't act.

That, and foreign trained doctors can often be thrown into situations during their Canadian training that they weren't originally trained for. An ophthalmologist into an emergency room, for example.
