I agree with you dear ............. even when you pass their illogically crafted Medical Council of Canada (mcc.ca) exams ........ they still have only about 100 residency seats for international medical graduates (IMG) for which about 12000 international medical graduates are competing ...... and if u passed your exams more than a year ago being in Canada which means u have a clinical experience gap .......... u r pretty much out of luck for most part of the process ....... and you only get one chance every year (if you ever get) to appear for a residency interview and those who get generally get in remote God forsaken villages of Manitoba or Eastern Canada (where no Canadian educated Doctor wants to go) which is still fine but its even so hard to get that ........... Why does Govt of Canada do that ........ very simple answer ...... a licensed Doctor in Canada earns between $ 170,000 to $250,000 take home and he/she charges the bill directly to Govt of Canada, in other words he is on Govt payroll indirectly .......... every new doctor means a huge cost for the Govt ..... as much as they wine and moan about shortage of doctors ......... they dont afford new doctors ........ USA is a different story because their doctor gets paid by private insurance companies where the premium is paid by public not Govt ........ hence more money and better chances ...... if you get a chance watch the documentary of IMG's in Canada ..... A BIG WAIT ....... the movies tells you about the failure of Canadian system to recognize IMG's when adding doctors to communities is part of every political party's platform .... yes politicians lie here too ........... Good luck to migrating doctors to Canada ........ there will be a long time before you hear this word DOCTOR about yourself in Canada .......Dental Doctors dont need residency ........ their exams are equally difficult but they are luckier than regular doctors that they only have to pass the exams and start practicing ........ but keep the hopes high because it does not cost you to hope and it keeps your hormonal system performing better than otherwise and at the end ......... everyone has his/her own luck ........ some are darn lucky but most are unlucky in Canadian system of recognizing a foreign doctor ....... hope it helped those who needed bit insight into Medical Mysteries of Canada and history does not make everyone a hero ........
