Canadian authorities really need to rethink their strategy on medical professionals. Canada is struggling with a shortage of medical staff and long wait lines and at the same time they make it really difficult for someone to practice in Canada. I understand that they want to make sure the doctors / nurses are good enough and understand Canadian healthcare standards but they can't expect an experienced doctor to come to Canada and then flip burgers while he jumps through the hoops to get a license and then some hospital telling him he doesn't have Canadian experience.What the point of inviting them under NOC specific draws if they wont work in their profession?
The NOC specific thing is good in theory but the devil is in details. Also, I will concede it is way easier said then done but there has to be an effort to solve the issues. The number of stories I have read / heard of Doctors driving uber in Canada to survive are heartbreaking.
