We are crying for doctors and trades people, why not set up a 3-6 month course to ensure that these people can transfer the education that they had in a different country to this country rather than having them wash floors in an office tower?

Well, first of all- a native person can become a doctor in this country without having $100K in student loans like the rest of us.
Secondly, the lack of a 3 to 6 month course has little to do with racism and more to do with the training. One of my high school buddies is a doctor, and his father was a doctor back in his home country. My buddy admits that it would have taken 4 or 5 years of training to get his father up to the level that my friend is at.
Now, if we take some of the education money set aside for the natives and give it to doctors who don't meet Canadian medical standards; then you have a solution. A politically incorrect one; but still a solution.
