No. It's much better in the long run to recognize partial or full qualifications from outside the country and provide a fast-tracked re-training program / re-certification for qualified professionals to fill those gaps. This is something the PC's, both provincial and federal, should have figured out a long time ago.
Why are qualified, experienced doctors driving cabs or doing janitorial work in this province when they could be filling professional fields that are chronically under-staffed? Better to spend six months improving a pre-existing skillset than simply increasing (read: inflating) the price constantly to attract top talent.
