      This story is sad but not surprising. If she really wants to get here she should continue her education for what we really want and that’s a 1 year hospitality diploma at a strip mall college. That’s what we really prioritize 🙄

      What a depressing read. From the unacceptable long time it took approval from Canadian medical board to the immigration board.

      You almost want to laugh at the process for the immigration application. Our current system is clearly tailored to attracting immigrants for low to medium skill jobs.

      A US physician wanting to come practice is clearly such an anomaly that it required special exceptions and intervention from an MP.

      Hilarious really.

      >There was a nine-month wait to be licensed by the Medical Council of Canada, the first step in applying to become a physician in Canada.

      >In contrast, her husband, who is a civil engineer, quickly received professional clearance to work in Canada.

      >”It was, within 24 to 48 hours that I got approved,” said Matt Duncan.

      It’s impressive how much the medical/healthcare field could learn from other disciplines.

      >It required the Kaushiks to show there was no Canadian worker or permanent resident available to do the job. They had received three applications to their job ad – only one of which was from a Canadian physician, who then declined to come to the clinic.

      Considering the number of Canadian-Born applicants for med school… I’m skeptical that we need foreigners to do these jobs. Canadians obviously want to do them.

      >The initial LMIA submitted by the clinic’s lawyer was rejected because the package needed a letter signed by whoever would be paying Duncan for her medical services. The application, says Duncan, assumed the clinic itself would be compensating her for her work, when doctors in Ontario are paid by Ontario Health Insurance Plan billings.
      >
      >”We were told that, because the clinic is not paying me, they wouldn’t approve the LMIA, because I’m going to be paid by the government, which just does not make any sense,” said Duncan.

      I’m not sure how an Ontario-based lawyer could have missed that.
      To be honest, I’m not angry with the government here. The language and instructions on the LMIA are very clear.

      Protectionism at its best! ANY association that is licensed by the government to enact protectionist measures will do exactly that.

      They only care for their members’ well (extremely well) being, not the social impact of MD shortage. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Lady… you are moving in the wrong direction, take a hint.

      I can only comment that the US has been very welcoming for me an my family in the reverse direction, but like her husband I am also an engineer so that’s like a Konami code for the game of life.

      The Liberals immigration system does not seem to think there is a shortage of family doctors and can easily blame the provinces for their failure to anticipate Justin’s rapid population growth. The Liberal system is so broken it recently sent a family doctor with an active Ottawa practice back to the UK because she was 46. [https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/ottawa-family-doctor-denied-permanent-residency-over-marital-status-age-1.6668246](https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/ottawa-family-doctor-denied-permanent-residency-over-marital-status-age-1.6668246) The morons in Ottawa do not realize becoming a licensed physician takes more than partying at university and being camp counselor for a couple years and 46 is in a doctors prime.
