That's another slap in the face....free education for those who are not here legally. My understanding is that a foreign student had to show ability to pay. Either by the student's government or parents. Unless an American or legal resident earns scholarships, you pay for that college education!

I'm not sure how restrictive the rules are for foreign born physicians, but the unions have been known to freeze out most competition. The competition they cannot freeze are illegals taking over the trades, especially building trades.

Saw a really bad story here on FR, recently about medical treatment in Canada. A couple learned that their unborn child had died in the uterus. An induction needed to be performed. The only problem was, there were no hospital beds available anywhere to actually deliver the child. The parents ended up crossing the border into the US. I can't remember all the details, but it was a pretty sad commentary on Canadian health care.

I have several friends who practice in Canada.

There are places where no medical care is available at all.

Some of the Western Provinces in rural and isolated areas need Doctors badly but (BUT) due to idiotic Eastern provinces running the system the government regulations have frozen out foreign doctors.

It's harder to get a license to practice medicine in Canada for a foreigner than it is in the United States.

I think less than 5% of all FMG's actually get into a program.
