Returning Canadian and international medical graduates have difficulties practicing medicine in Canada due to the scarcity of residency spots.
Unfortunately, those who studied abroad face even more adversity in obtaining a residency than their counterparts who studied in Canada.
This makes it almost impossible for them to pursue careers in Canada.
Despite increased demand, the number of available spots for healthcare professionals in Canada has been gradually declining since the late 1980s.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has attempted to open up immigration programs for physicians and nurses alike. However, these efforts have not sufficiently remedied this growing shortage.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is seeking assistance from the business community to convince Ottawa to increase immigration into the province.
At a Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce luncheon, he expressed his party's clear aspiration for forming an independent relationship with the federal government by allowing them greater power in defining their immigration objectives.
The Premier is urging businesspeople to approach Ottawa for a new Canada-Saskatchewan immigration agreement – similar to what already exists with Quebec.
If successful, this deal could potentially increase Saskatchewan's annual target for permanent residents up to 13,000 each year.
