Do people really bitch about immigrants moving to Canada to work as health care providers? That’s not something I’ve come across.
As I noted, Canada aggressively recruits health care professionals from overseas. But it’s a competitive market - every developed country is doing the same because they also have an aging population and rising health care staffing needs.
The real question is why we can’t ramp up domestic training of health care professionals. And that’s rooted in murky issues around financing and powerful vested interests.
