Long wait times have become increasingly common in Canada, leading some residents to travel outside of the country to have medical surgeries and procedures done sooner.

We don't have the capacity to support enough residencies and our accreditation process is too convoluted to import foreign labour. These are both solvable problems, but only with the political will to do so.

Canadians need to be less afraid of having their jobs stolen by foreigners. As our population grows, we will need more of everything.
