   As long as they really have the skills.  I am sure some voodoo doctor   
   will claim to be a doctor from the university of no where to be found   
   will apply.  And trusting imigration Canada to check?  Fools game.   
      
   If they can fairly write the exams and papers, yes, I would agree they   
   shouldn't have to start at year one as many a so called professional   
   organizations would like.  Tehy should get full credit for their valid   
   capabilities.   
      
   But part of the issue is governemnt wants those doctors because they be   
   cheaper.  And I doubt as well trained.  At least a 1 year fresher...to   
   see if they have the skills or are BSing.

   But I will not argue professional organizations like this are often   
   biggoted.  Completely possible they are better trained than our own.

   Yep, even natives were immigrants from the Alaska pan handle going back   
   far enough.  Not a person in north or south America is truly indiginious   
   in the big picture.   
      
   Doesn't hurt for anyone to drive cabs for a month while the papers are   
   properly verified.  You can learn a lot about a society driving hack as   
   we used to call it.  Good enough for me while I was educating myself,   
   should be damned well good enough until their credentials and skills are   
   properly verfied.   
      
   But the "professionl" clubs need their chain pulled.   
      
   For doctors, an internship after the verification is a realistic   
   expectation.  I doubt their hospitals are the same.

   Time to ask, is our government serving us or are we serving the government?
