We will take your educated folks!
I’m all for it, but can’t we recruit from within Canada?
- It takes time to scale up. The bottleneck is usually residency, where we don't have enough doctors to train the new ones
  
  Good points, thanks! I know we have people who immigrated here and were certified as medical professionals in their home country, yet can’t work here in their field of expertise. What can we do to get them certified to work in BC/Canada?
- I only know for Quebec, but our "college des medicins" is seen by many as blocking some ways to accelerate the count of MDs in the province, gatekeeping a bit.
Did you know that just $2,000,000 can change a life?
With a paltry $2,000,000, you can provide clean water, food, or education to a boomer in need. You can help, sign up to buy their teardown today.
