[quote=ken0042;913552]My solution- free education for doctors. Have some sort of system in place that for every two or three years of practicing medicine in their home province, they write off one year of schooling costs.
I have known people who became doctors and are faced with almost $100K worth of student loans. Their solution is to find the quickest way of paying those off. If they know that they never have to pay them off, then all of a suddent they aren't looking at starting their practice elsewhere.
I really don't understand why the Canadian government doesn't want to recognize educated immigrants that move to Canada. Why do we have a doctor that practised in another country cleaning floors of an office building? Why not put him through a 3-6 month course to ensure that he is on the same page with the other doctors in this country and let him start working. That would give us more manpower right now, then with something in place like Ken said above we would be working towards something better.
